Final Labview Homework, Due April 7

1. The following VI asks you to use the Case structure and Ring controls The vi will accept as an input a oating point number representing an angle in one of three units, radians, degrees, or gradians (100 grad = 90 ). The output will be a trig function of the angle chosen from sine, cosine, tangent, or cotangent. Build this inside a While loop. To select the units of the angle and the trig function use a System Ring control found on the System palette on the Front panel. Go to the Properties of the ring and the Edit Items pane and enter the values you want to see on the control. When done hit OK. Labview converts your choice into an integer. This integer will control the case structure. The rest is relatively easy. One case structure will be for converting units into radians, and a second case structure will be for computing the trig function. When you rst place the case down, its ? input will be green (Boolean) but once you wire the ring to it it will turn blue (integer). Cases have a default of two cases, so you will need to right click on the case and add cases. The cases will have identical inputs and outputs, but the computation will be dierent for each one. Once you have the vi built, check it thoroughly, including angles of 0 and 90 . E-mail me your program with your name includede.g. LindbergLabview. 2. Take the Labview Fundamentals exam. This is a timed 40 question, 45 minute exam. Go to http://www.ni.com/training/labview_exam.htm and take the Free Labview Fundamentals Exam (a 45 minute, 40 question multiple choice exam.) This is the rst step in getting Certication in Labview. You can retake the exam but only once a day I believe. You can see some sample questions at http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/ id/5225 1

You will be required to create an account at NI, and then you will get a regular stream of info about training courses etc. Several times a year there are free gatherings in Rochester dealing with Labview, a great place to continue learning. Once you take the exam, you will receive the e-mail telling you your score. Send a copy of this to me. Your grade on this question will be your score divided by 32. Passing the exam requires a score of 80%, 32/40, or better). Maximum you can get is 112.5%. Good luck.
