LabVIEW Programming Services for Test Automation, Data Acquisition & Machine Control

CUSTOM LABVIEW PROGRAMMING

LabVIEW is more than a graphical programming environment. In an automated test system, it can become the software layer connecting the machine, instruments, sensors, controller and engineering data.

PROLABS develops customized LabVIEW applications based on the requirements of the test or machine.

Our LabVIEW programming capabilities include:

• Automated test sequence development

• Test rig control software

• Data acquisition applications

• Instrument communication

• Machine control

• Sensor integration

• Signal processing

• Real-time applications

• FPGA-based applications

• Automated Pass/Fail evaluation

• Test data logging

• Database integration

• Operator interfaces

• Test traceability

• Existing application modernization

LabVIEW TEST AUTOMATION

Automated testing requires more than simply acquiring data.

A complete application may need to:

Configure → Control → Measure → Analyze → Validate → Report

PROLABS develops LabVIEW-based test automation applications that can integrate these stages into a single engineering workflow.

Applications can include:

• Component testing

• Durability testing

• Performance testing

• Functional testing

• Characterization

• End-of-line testing

• Environmental testing

• Automotive testing

• Hydraulic testing

• Torque and angle measurement

• Force and displacement measurement

LabVIEW DATA ACQUISITION SYSTEMS

LabVIEW can interface with a wide range of acquisition hardware and measurement instruments.

PROLABS develops DAQ applications for measurements including:

• Force

• Torque

• Pressure

• Temperature

• Displacement

• Acceleration

• Vibration

• Voltage

• Current

• Speed

• Position

• Strain

The application can acquire, visualize, process, store and analyze measurement data according to the requirements of the test system.

MACHINE & TEST RIG CONTROL

A test rig needs software that understands both the machine and the test requirement.

PROLABS develops LabVIEW applications for:

• Actuator control

• Motor control

• Servo systems

• Hydraulic systems

• Pneumatic systems

• Programmable power supplies

• Sensors and instrumentation

• Safety interlocks

• Test sequence control

• Profile generation

• Automated data acquisition

• Test result evaluation

This makes LabVIEW an important part of our test rig automation solutions.

From LabVIEW Programming to Complete Test Automation

PROLABS does not approach LabVIEW programming as an isolated software activity.

We look at the complete engineering system:

Machine → Sensors → DAQ → Controller → LabVIEW → Analysis → Database → Report

This allows the software to be developed around the actual test requirement.
