ASSIGNMENT 1

AIM: Make a basic LabVIEW VI using Booleans to compare some numbers to identify the
larger or smaller number among them

SOFTWARE USED: National Instruments LabVIEW 2018

THEORY: Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a

system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language
from National Instruments. LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument
control, test automation, signal processing, industrial control and embedded system design on
a variety of operating systems. LabVIEW programs-subroutines are termed virtual
instruments (VIs). Each VI has 3 components: a block diagram, a front panel, and a connector
panel. The Front panel is built using controls and indicators. Controls are inputs: they allow a
user to supply information to the VI. Indicators are outputs: they indicate, or display, the
results based on the inputs given to the VI. The back panel, which is a Block diagram,
contains the graphical source code. All the objects placed on the front panel will appear on
the back panel as terminals. The back panel also contains structures and functions which
perform operations on controls and supply data to indicators. The Connector panel is used to
represent the VI in the block diagrams of another calling VI’s.
A Boolean is a primitive data type that can have one of two values: True or False. It is
represented by green wires on the block diagram. The Boolean constant is represented by a
dynamic element that can be changed from True   to False   with a left mouse click. Most
functions from the Comparison palette return Boolean values
