LabVIEW Case Structures and Arrays Guide

The document outlines procedures for three LabVIEW programming tasks: performing addition or subtraction using a case structure, finding the maximum and minimum elements of an array, and bundling and unbundling a cluster. Each task includes aims, required software, step-by-step procedures, and results confirming the successful creation of the corresponding Virtual Instruments (VIs). The document is intended for a Measurements and Instrumentation Laboratory course at VIT, Chennai.

Programming using Case structures, Arrays and Clusters

[a] Addition or Subtraction of any two numbers using Case Structure


Aim:
To perform addition or subtraction of any two numbers using case structure in
LabVIEW.

Software Required:
NI LabVIEW

Procedure:
• Open a new VI. Press Ctrl+T.
• Right click in front panel. Select Numeric>>Numeric Control and drop two controls in
front panel.
• Right click in front panel. Select Numeric>>Numeric Indicator and drop it in front
panel.
• Right click in front panel. Select Boolean>>Push Button and drop it in front panel.
• Add Case Structure in the block diagram.
• Now write the logic for case “SUB” and “ADD” as shown in figure.
• Run VI.
• Note: False: ADD; True: SUBTRACT
Block Diagram: “SUB” Case

[b] Maximum and Minimum Element of an array


Aim:
To find the maximum and minimum element from an array in LabVIEW.

Software Required:
NI LabVIEW

Procedure:
• Create blank VI.
• Right click on the front panel →modern →array→ array matrix→ numeric control.
• Create four numeric indicators in the front panel for maximum variable, index,
minimum variable and index.
• Right click on block diagram→Array→Array Max & Min.
• Using wiring operations, required connections are given in the block diagram.
• Inputs are given in the front panel and the program is executed
