Measurement Technology with LabVIEW

Module name (EN):
Name of module in study programme. It should be precise and clear.
Measurement Technology with LabVIEW
Degree programme:
Study Programme with validity of corresponding study regulations containing this module.
Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2013
Module code: E1935
SAP-Submodule-No.:
The exam administration creates a SAP-Submodule-No for every exam type in every module. The SAP-Submodule-No is equal for the same module in different study programs.
P211-0247
Hours per semester week / Teaching method:
The count of hours per week is a combination of lecture (V for German Vorlesung), exercise (U for Übung), practice (P) oder project (PA). For example a course of the form 2V+2U has 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of exercise per week.
2U (2 hours per week)
ECTS credits:
European Credit Transfer System. Points for successful completion of a course. Each ECTS point represents a workload of 30 hours.
3
Semester: according to optional course list
Mandatory course: no
Language of instruction:
German

Applicability / Curricular relevance:
All study programs (with year of the version of study regulations) containing the course.

E1935 (P211-0247) Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, Master, ASPO 01.04.2019 , optional course, technical, course inactive since 15.04.2019
E1935 (P211-0247) Electrical Engineering, Master, ASPO 01.10.2013 , optional course, technical
Workload:
Workload of student for successfully completing the course. Each ECTS credit represents 30 working hours. These are the combined effort of face-to-face time, post-processing the subject of the lecture, exercises and preparation for the exam.

The total workload is distributed on the semester (01.04.-30.09. during the summer term, 01.10.-31.03. during the winter term).
30 class hours (= 22.5 clock hours) over a 15-week period.
The total student study time is 90 hours (equivalent to 3 ECTS credits).
There are therefore 67.5 hours available for class preparation and follow-up work and exam preparation.
Recommended prerequisites (modules):
None.
Recommended as prerequisite for:
Module coordinator:
Prof. Dr. Michael Möller
Lecturer:
Prof. Dr. Michael Möller

Learning outcomes:
After successfully completing this module, students will be familiar with the LabVIEW measurement software development environment from National Instruments (NI). They will have gained experience through hands-on measurement examples. They will be able to implement a simple measurement task in a functionally reliable, user-friendly, and visually appealing LabVIEW program (“virtual instrument,” “VI”)


[updated 30.06.2025]
Module content:
Basic “philosophy” of the LabVIEW development environment
Example: voltmeter
- Hardware connection (NI-ELVIS) with DAQmx subroutines
- Display as a number, virtual measuring instrument, and graph
Example: Function generator
- Loop structures
- Case distinctions
- Subroutines (SubVIs)
- Pulsed and buffered signal output
- User-friendly “front panel” design
Example: Oscilloscope
- Pulsed and buffered signal measurement
- Changing the measurement parameters during runtime
- Event control
- Data storage as a text file


[updated 30.06.2025]
Teaching methods/Media:
Active exercises on National Instruments ELVIS teaching systems.
