RE: Six computers in CEET Computer Lab (1st Floor, back-room) are set-up and equipped with
LabVIEW and DAQ - DATA ACQUISITION
for REAL measurements, not just simulation

In addition to computation and simulation, in our CEET Computer Lab (1st Floor), now, you have a set of computers equipped with Data Acquisition hardware: DAQ board, cable, and Demo-box with terminals [Demo-box Diagram] (3 for analog input, 2 for analog output, 1 for counter, and Ground terminal-center pin in Function Generator area), for your own REAL measurements of your own signal sources (± 5V, or 0-10V range). The Demo-box also incorporates, for your convenience, a simple Function Generator, in addition to a trigger switch and digital port LEDs.

Run LabVIEW application software from Windows and Open 490LVDAQ.LLB file, specially developed to be used in our Computer Lab with DEMO-BOX and Lab-PC+ DAQ board (may be copied from FTP: 490LVDAQ.LLB).

This will transfer your computer into a color, multifunction, multi-channel oscilloscope [Click HERE!].
