ENGINEERING PROJECTS WITH NI LABVIEW AND VERNIER - ELECTRONIC
This digital lab book contains engaging hands-on projects for SensorDAQ, LabQuest LabQuest2 or LabQuest Mini. It introduces engineering concepts and programming with NI LabVIEW development software. An introductory knowledge of NI LabVIEW programming (see LWV Hands-On Introduction to NI LabVIEW book) is assumed.

Many important science and engineering concepts are explored including analog and digital input, sensors and how they are calibrated, feedback and control, analogue and digital output, servo and stepper motors, PID control, pulse-width modulation, voltage dividers and Wheatstone bridges.

When you purchase this electronic book you will receive the download instructions after your order has been processed.

Electronic Version Includes:
• 12 ready-to-use student projects with challenge exercises
• Access to up-to-date versions of the experiments
• Essential instructor information including construction and programming tips and extensions
• Word-processing files of the student sections so you can edit the files to match your teaching preferences
• NI LabVIEW sample programs for all projects and challenges
• A generous site licence­—buy one book and duplicate the experiments for your class

Printed Lab Book EPV
When you buy the printed lab book you receive all of the resources listed above for the electronic version plus a printed copy of the book.
The printed version has been discontinued and only 4 copies remain in stock.

Each of the twelve sensor-based projects that your students can build and program starts with a set of design requirements devoted to a specific engineering application. After the students have successfully mastered the goals set forth in the project, they are offered a challenge to further test their construction and/or programming skills. Some activities even offer an extreme challenge involving more complex logic or mathematics.

The activities are loosely ranked in order of increasing difficulty (Project 1 is easier than Project 12)
