Welcome to the first course at UNM solely devoted to providing instruction on how to program in LabVIEW. I taught myself how to program in LabVIEW commencing in
2002, with considerable help from local technical assistants.
Based on this skill, I now write programs for data acquisition in the
Exercise Physiology Laboratories, where I supervise doctoral dissertation
research, as well as complete my own research and scholarship.
I uses LabVIEW to acquire analog signals from commercial equipment, as
well as perform numerous post-collection data processing techniques involving
spectral analysis, digital filtering, statistics, graphical presentation, text
file creation, etc. I completed
LabVIEW Basics I and II courses in the Fall of 2004, and have recently extended
my use of LabVIEW to two-way (serial ) communication for instrument control and
data acquisition, as well as qualitative survey research using LabVIEW’s
internet features. For the last two years, I have been teaching LabVIEW to my graduate students in several theory and laboratory courses. As training and experience in programming with LabVIEW can increase the employment prospects for undergraduate and graduate students, it is logical to develop a UNM course to provide instruction in this valuable programming skill that spans all scientific disciplines: basic and applied to qualitative. In short, all students interested in collecting and processing data of any type will benefit from LabVIEW programming. |
