Design and Implementation of the Multi-Functional Virtual Instrument Based on LabVIEW
According to the rapid development and widespread application of virtual instrument technology, a design with serial port and the audio card of PC as the main hardware and LabVIEW as the software development platform is proposed. Not only can it generates and output basic waveform, arbitrary formula wave and hand-painted waveform in real time, but also realizes the function of the oscilloscope system, including: channel selection, collecting and display waveform data in real-time, parameter measurement, spectrum analysis etc. This multi-functional virtual instrument has the advantages of friendly-machine interface, easy to transplant and modify and good scalability. And it has broad prospects in the field of testing, measurement and teaching practice.
