The development of measuring instruments requires a specialist to know the principles of operation of advanced measuring systems. This article describes guidelines for creating a virtual appliance in LabVIEW. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a graphical application programming environment used as a standard tool for measuring, analyzing their data, further ma­ naging devices and objects under study. LabVIEW language is not like other programming languages. It does not create a program, but a virtual tool, designed not only for the simulation of certain processes, but also for the management of hardware and the study of real physical objects. The article deals with the task of designing application software for a specific information-measuring device, analyzes the capabilities of the LabVIEW environment for spectral analysis of various signals, outlines the basic principles and techniques of programming within the framework of the LabVIEW graphical environment during the basic stages of development. The procedure for creating a virtual device is described, which allows to evaluate the spectral composition of the signals, presents a graphical code of execution (diagram) to the program and a graphical tool interface of the virtual device. A number of basic elements used to develop the program are described. The simplicity of the graphic designs, the ease of installation on the field of the program, the clarity and readability of the program — all of which makes LabVIEW preferred over other languages of programming. In most cases, the experiment is the only source of reliable information. And the result is achieved much faster than the methods of "pure" theory. The article substantiates the effectiveness of using a development tool that allows to obtain a software product and ensure the fulfillment of all the basic functions of an automated system. Developing a software algorithm for calculating statistical parameters will help engineering students understand the order of determining spectral characteristics and their place in the structure of experimental research.

Quantum algorithms are touted as a way around some classically intractable problems such as the simulation of quantum mechanics. At the end of all quantum algorithms is a quantum measurement whereby classical data is extracted and utilized. In fact, many of the modern hybrid-classical approaches are essentially quantum measurements of states with short quantum circuit descriptions. Here, we compare and examine three methods of extracting the time-dependent one-particle probability density from a quantum simulation: direct Z-measurement, Bayesian phase estimation, and harmonic inversion. We have tested these methods in the context of the potential inversion problem of time-dependent density functional theory. Our test results suggest that direct measurement is the preferable method. We also highlight areas where the other two methods may be useful and report on tests using Rigetti's quantum virtual device. This study provides a starting point for imminent applications of quantum computing.

In the industry, simulations are of great importance. They enable measurements to be made in different conditions about a virtual device, which are highly comparable to measurements made in a real life scenarios. Because of their wide range of usage in lower power drive systems, where precision and simplicity is a must, the subject of study is a permanent magnet stepper motor. For precise positioning purposes, it is essential to know the positioning behaviour of these devices. The model construction process involved an intermediate step, which consisted of creating the Bond-Graph of the motor based on pre-defined models available in the literature in this field. In the next step, the Bond-Graph model was converted to a block diagram of the motor. This permitted the direct implementation of the motor model in LabVIEW visual programming environment. The preliminary steps allows us to check and confirm the functionality and correctness of the model. This article covers in detail the model conversion and implementation steps of the simulation. At the end, the functionality of the simulation was tested.

Non-contact monitoring of vital signs of a person is a reliable and safe way of promptly obtaining objective diagnostic information about the current physiological state of a patient during surgical operations, physiotherapeutic procedures or during sleep. The absence of direct contact of the sensors with the patient's body makes it possible to exclude the influence of a number of interfering factors, such as a violation or weakening of contact, which can lead to a deterioration in the quality of signals from the output of the sensors, a long-term location of the sensors on the body can have a psychological effect on the patient, changing his condition and thereby distorting the treatment method, etc. In order for the results of monitoring and diagnostics to be reliable and guaranteed accurate, it is necessary to carry out periodic metrological certification of location sensors, especially since many of them are of foreign production and their characteristics are either not standardized or do not meet the requirements of their operating conditions. Therefore, the tasks of developing methods and means for carrying out metrological tests of non-contact sensors for medical purposes are becoming urgent. Purpose – to show the possibility of implementing automated metrological tests of location sensors for medical use based on a personal computer and publicly available standard hardware and software. A method has been developed and implemented for conducting metrological tests of location sensors based on a personal computer, a digital dynamic measure of linear displacement, virtual measuring instruments, laser and ultrasonic sensors, as well as determining conversion errors in the LabVIEW environment. As an exemplary measuring instrument, it is proposed to use a webcam with a virtual device for recording the law of displacement in the LabVIEW Vison Development application. Full-scale experiments have been carried out, in which, using a digital measure of linear displacement, it is possible to reproduce with high accuracy almost any law of displacement and to regulate its informative parameters. Real movement signals were received with the help of virtual devices, recorded by two location sensors and a web camera. The errors of the means of registration are determined in comparison with the given digital method and analytically the law of movement. Introduction of the developed method and hardware and software for metrological certification of sensors of diagnostic channels of the systems of complex magnetotherapy «Multimag» and «Relaxmag». Carrying out automated metrological tests of sensors will ensure prompt, reliable and objective control of their actual characteristics, which means it will increase the effectiveness of treatment due to the prompt and continuous monitoring of the patient's functional state and an objective assessment of a number of important indicators.
