Fundamental LabVIEW Techniques for Transducers Interfacing: A practical guide to sensors and actuators data acquisition and interfacing using Digilent - Paperback

by Hee C. Lim (Author)

This manuscript will guide readers in actual LabVIEW graphical programming of the Digilent Analog Discovery 2 and Analog Digital parts kit. It discusses electronics schematics, electronics hardware wiring, interfacing techniques, and sensors data acquisition. Readers may gain the ability to make full use of the Analog Digital part kits sensors, electronics components, and integrated circuits. Each of the hands-on unit is self-contained and can be postponed or visited asynchronously if desired. The Digilent Analog Discovery 2 projects discussed in this text include the outdoor gardening temperature/heating regulator to guard against frost as well as indoor precise temperature controller for reptilian solarium habitat, external magnetic field measurement of fluctuating solar flare bombardment or high electromagnetic pulse leakage from industry machinery shielding, electronic circuitry to monitor any IR remote controller output and IR robotic communication, vibrational sensing shock sensor and suspension bridge structure monitoring, low frequency earthquake lateral sensing and shaker testbed sensor system, intruder alert device or acoustic frequency filtering system, solar tracker or room occupancy sensor, photoresistor daylight sensing, servomotor for robotic arm control and leg movement, and LED running lights application typically found in the festival lighting product.
