Week 1 Day 3

Wednesday

We started the day by familiarizing ourselves with LabVIEW.  LabVIEW is a graphical programming language used by engineers for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of platforms. LabVIEW can be utilized to create systems for measurement, test, and control using graphical icons and wires much like a flowchart. The purpose of such programming is automating the usage of processing and measuring equipment in any laboratory setup.  We will be using this program to pull the data from our prototype.




After some more LabVIEW tutorials, we headed to the library to do some research on some of the current air quality data acquisition systems.  We will then use this data to help us as we design our own.

Tomorrow we head out to the Aquatic Research field site.
