9. 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 the front panel. Select Numeric>>Numeric Control and drop two
controls in the front panel.
• Right-click in the front panel. Select Numeric>>Numeric Indicator and drop it in the
front panel.
• Right-click in the front panel. Select Boolean>>Push Button and drop it in the front
panel.
• Add Case Structure in the block diagram.
• Now write the logic for cases “SUB” and “ADD” as shown in the 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, the required connections are given in the block diagram.
• Inputs are given in the front panel and the program is executed
