Essentials of Building Virtual Instruments with LabVIEW and Arduino for Lab Automation Applications

Jianghua Bai | Andres La Rosa

Abstract: four ways to improve the capabilities of a virtual instrument involving a microcontroller are covered in this paper. They are structural modeling and programming, real-time control, asynchronous communication between the microcontroller and the host PC, and system integration. This paper covers 4 common problems encountered by embedded developers and 5 solutions to the 4 problems. The solutions and examples demonstrated in this article will help readers build robust and reliable virtual instruments for crucial applications.

Keywords: Virtual instrumentation, LabVIEW, Arduino, lab automation, layered models
