LabView VI's
- Read Voltage VI - Reads a single analog input from the device and channel specified
- Spreadsheet Writer VI - Generates 3 columns (with headers) x 100 rows and stores in a file compatible with Excel
- Spreadsheet Reader VI - Reads a text file (or spreadsheet file saved as a text file) consisting of a column of data and calculates the mean and standard deviation
- PID VI - PID temperature controller for lab experiment
- ME120WaveformAcq VI - For use with the Waveform Logger Experiment. Acquires a waveform from the DAQ Signal Accessory box
- Waveform Logger Simulator VI - Simulates the sinewave generator on the DAQ Signal Accessory box and a data acquisition card
