Class Project Guidance

Students are required to complete a project on a relevant topic to the course. The purpose of the
project task is to deepen the student knowledge in computer-aided instrumentation and data
acquisition and the programming abilities of LabVIEW.

Students (in a group of 2-3) may choose one topic where they are interested in. After your group
decides the project topic, a brief project-planning proposal needs to be submitted as soon as possible
(by the end of the 6 th week) to be approved.

project topic:

Automatic Room Temperature Control System.

The final report should include the following sections:

 Abstract

 Introduction and Objectives

 Problem and solution statement, including what are the objective and problem, how the solution
comes out, system diagram, selection of hardware/software components, and detailed explanations.

 Schematics/hardware wiring diagram where it applies

 LabVIEW programs (including necessary comments at each module)

 Results/observations

 Contribution of individual members

 Conclusions, including any suggestion and future work to the project.

The LabVIEW program should satisfy the following requirements:

1. Be able to control/read data from external devices (e.g. instruments or sensors)

2. Plotting of data on the screen properly in a user friendly way

3. User-friendly instructions and controls – using at least one imported graphic and using proper
(different) fonts and colors on the user interface window

4. Implement at least 3 sub-VIs and at least 1 sub-VI embedded within another subVI written by
students.

5. Adequate annotations within the block diagram window of all VIs and sub-Vis. 6. Be able to save data
to a file. Saved data must be readable by a spreadsheet program (e.g. Excel)
