Apr 08, 2017 In this getting started tutorial on Labview with Arduino, you will learn how to interface Arduino with lab view or you can say how to get Arduino data through serial communication on Labview graphical user interface. You should have basic knowledge have basic knowledge of Labview software before starting this project. Jan 28, 2018 Serial Communication With Labview Tutorial. Overview of Serial Bus Serial is a common device communication protocol for instrument control because most computers and many remote instruments include at least one serial port. Single applications can be used across a variety of instruments with few modifications, reducing programming and test time.
This instructable is a quick tutorial explaning how to connect your Arduino to LabVIEW thought USB.
You’ll learn how to send a string and receive data available at USB port.
First of all, C programming skills and LabVIEW diagram block knowledge will help.
You will need:
- Arduino UNO;
- LM35 (Or other sensor);
- LabVIEW Software with NI-VISA Driver;
This tutorial will not explain how LM35 sensor works. See its datasheet.
What's LabVIEW?
LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a visual programming language developed by National Instruments. It's very useful for data acquisition (purpose of this tutorial), instrument control, industry automations.
Arduino?
Arduino is an open-source computer hardware used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from a
variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights, motors, and other physical outputs.
Arduino projects can be stand-alone, or they can communicate with software running on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP.) The boards can be assembled by hand or purchased preassembled; the open-source IDE can be downloaded for free. (from Arduino).
