LabVIEW Six Hour Course – Instructor Notes
This zip file contains material designed to give students a working knowledge of
LabVIEW in a 6 hour timeframe. The contents are:
Instructor Notes.doc – this document.
LabVIEWIntroduction-SixHour.ppt – a PowerPoint presentation containing
screenshots and notes on the topics covered by the course.
Convert C to F (Ex1).vi – Exercise 1 solution VI.
Convert C to F (Ex2).vi – Exercise 2 solution subVI.
Thermometer-DAQ (Ex2).vi – Exercise 2 solution VI.
Temperature Monitor (Ex3).vi – Exercise 3 solution VI.
Thermometer (Ex4).vi – Exercise 4 solution subVI.
Convert C to F (Ex4).vi – Exercise 4 solution subVI.
Temperature Logger (Ex4).vi – Exercise 4 solution VI.
Multiplot Graph (Ex5).vi – Exercise 5 solution VI.
Square Root (Ex6).vi – Exercise 6 solution VI.
State Machine 1 (Ex7).vi – Exercise 7 solution VI.
The slides can be presented in two three hour labs, or six one hour lectures. Depending on
the time and resources available in class, you can choose whether to assign the exercises
as homework or to be done in class. If you decide to assign the exercises in class, it is
best to assign them in order with the presentation. This way the students can create VI’s
while the relevant information is still fresh. The notes associated with the exercise slide
should be sufficient to guide the students to a solution. The solution files included are one
possible solution, but by no means the only solution.
If you decide to assign the exercises outside of a classroom, you may find it useful to
print out the directions from the exercise slide and hand them to the students as an
assignment.
The exercises can be submitted via email to the grader.
