Developing Virtual
Instruments
You are required to help your team
to develop two Virtual Instruments to be presented during Day 1 and Day

develop the VI’s from scratch. Between the two VI’s you should make use of the following
elements learned in the class: Case Structure, For
Each team will do a 5 minute
presentation on their VI’s in each of the two presentation days. The webpage on
the project, along with the project report will be due the class after the
second day of the presentations (please check the e-syllabus for exact dates).
The team leader will meet with the instructor to discuss team progress on the
project on a weekly basis. The project report is expected to be a good written
document (see Good
Writing Practices), and graded under three categories: correct grammar and
neat presentation; logical arguments and structure; accurate report of the team
project, completeness, and no plagiarism. Project report will be submitted in
hardcopies with member signatures and also in electronic form (see Computer Files:
Names and Electronic Submissions). A complete report should include the
following sections:
-Introduction: brief description of
project objectives in your own words, background information needed for the
design of the VI, work distribution among the team members, and timelines for
the different parts of the project: research, design, coding,
testing/debugging.
-Design and building: this section
should the Front Panel and Block Diagram with explanation on why different
elements have been used and placed that way.
-User Manual and Trouble Shooting:
