Graduate is able to program basic PC applications in LabVIEW. He knows this development environment and can configure it. He can also work with auxiliary programs suitable for configuration of versatile measurement devices (NI MAX).

The student who enrols this course should be familiar with commonly used methods for measurement of electrical and non-electrical quantities, describe the fundamental properties of specialized instruments and discuss the possibilities of their usage and selection of an appropriate sensor for the measurement. Students should also be able to self-study from the available interactive learning materials and have such language skills to understand educational materials in English.

The course goal is to introduce LabVIEW development system to students and teach them to use this environment for programming of measurement applications for PC. It includes explanation of the specifics of graphical programming methods in LabVIEW, usage of universal hardware devices for measurement tasks and common methods for their configuration.

Mandatory participation in computer exercises, in case of absence the exercise work can be supplemented with a self-study of interactive learning materials. Two excused absences are tolerated.
