Purpose
To learn how to use lab view in unison with lab equipment for better evaluation of signal and other necessary data.
Procedure
In this lab we assembled several circuits including a temperature and light sensor which we were provided the diagram for. We were as well given the procedure for creating the Lab View programs that would help aid in reading the signal from either of these devices and collect the empirical data from these devices for later evaluation. In particular a thousand samples were collected over one second for a small light bulb flashing at 10Hz so that an accurate evaluation of it's half life could later be made. Temperature readings were taken with an LM35 component on a DAQ board, voltage signal was processed through Lab View. The light sensor was created with a photo-diode and an LF411 op-amp, voltage signal was processed through Lab View.
