HMMMM
What Do You Mean By Virtual instrumentation? Components Of The Virtual Instrumentation?

Need of virtual Instruments?

Are their any Advantages of Virtual Instrument over traditional Instruments? Where they are used?

VIRTUAL INSTUMENTATION

Firstly instrumentation is nothing but the to test or to take measurement. Virtual instrumentation is the technique of instrumentation which uses the special purpose software along with the hardware. It was firstly introduced in 1970s by the National Instruments. India

COMPONENTS OF VI

Flexible Software

Heart of the virtual Instrumentation. Creates interface between user and the system

To analyze data for meaningful operation

To store the result Software can be build by using following languages,Visual basic,C++,Matlab,Authorware

Modular I/O

It contain ADC,DAC,Field Programmable Gate Arrays(FPGAs),PC buses

ADC :-converts the analog I/p to digital I/p DAC :- converts the digital I/p to analog I/p FPGA:- stores the program PC buses :-data transmission

Synchronizing Platforms

Popular and commercially available platform (PC or Server) It is used to run the software and connect the I/O module VI takes the advantage of the very latest computer capabilities and data transfer technologies

Need of Virtual Instrumentation

Delivers Instrumentation with rapidly These are user defined which are required to keep up with worlds demand. Due to more software centric the functionality of instruments increases

Flexible or Easily can change with the time

Virtual instruments VS Traditional instruments

Virtual instruments VS Traditional instruments

Virtual instruments User defined More flexibility Cost is lower Plug In and Networked Hardware is available High accuracy Speed is fast

Traditional Instruments Vendor defined Less flexible Cost is more No option for hardware Change Low accuracy Speed is slow

ADVANTAGES OF VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS

Lower costs of instrumentation Portability between various computer platforms Easy-to-use graphical user interface Graphical representation of program structures Code can be compiled to standalone .EXE or .DLL file TCP/IP connectivity (Web server integrated into virtual instrument)

Conclusion

Virtual instrumentation is fueled by ever-advancing computer technology and offers you the power to create and define your own system based on an open framework.

Due to the more no advantages Virtual Instrumentation can use to have growth in the sector Of R&D

Questions??
Still have any related to Virtual Instrumentation?
