LabVIEW Automation
LabVIEW Automation
Automates high-speed measurement, multi-channel data acquisition, instrument control, visualization, and automated test reporting.
Quick Service Summary
- Parent Domain: Industrial Automation Services
- Execution Model: Custom Engineering Scope
- Verification: Bench & Functional Testing
- Delivery Deliverables: Schematics, Code & Documentation
The Engineering Challenge
Manual bench instrument testing is slow, prone to transcription errors, and incapable of capturing transient electrical or mechanical anomalies.
The Desired Outcome
Automated National Instruments LabVIEW software coordinating multi-channel data acquisition, automated instrument stimulus, limit checking, and instant report generation.
Core Technical Capabilities
Application-specific engineering focused on reliability, performance, and maintainability.
National Instruments DAQmx hardware integration (cDAQ, PXI, USB-DAQ)
Bench instrument communication via VISA (GPIB, RS-232, USB, Ethernet/LXI)
Custom, intuitive graphical user interfaces for laboratory and production technicians
Real-time waveform acquisition, FFT spectral analysis, and mathematical filtering
Automated limit checking with immediate visual and audible pass/fail indicators
Generation of audit-supporting PDF, Excel, and TDMS test report files
Technical Approach
Using robust LabVIEW design patterns (Producer-Consumer, Queued Message Handler), we decouple high-speed hardware acquisition from user interface rendering, ensuring zero dropped samples.
Required Customer Inputs
List of test instruments (make/model), required measurement channels, sampling frequencies, pass/fail threshold limits, and report format requirements.
Project Deliverables
- Complete LabVIEW source code project (.lvproj) and executable deployment installers
- Instrument driver VIs and configuration files
- Test station operator handbook with calibration guidance
- System architecture documentation and data logging specifications
Scope Boundaries & Safety Safeguards
National Instruments software licensing (LabVIEW Development System, Run-Time) is customer-provided or billed according to NI licensing terms. TC Smart Technology adheres to transparent engineering standards: solutions do not bypass machine safety interlocks, and all AI features retain human-in-the-loop governance.
