Application of Real-Time Control System Using LabVIEW in Distance-Learning

Engineering Sciences and education have always been dynamically interrelated with technology change, Educators and researchers worldwide are using National Instruments products to automate routine tasks, accomplish new objectives, replace outdated and expensive equipment, and demonstrate students the potential of high technology. Physical systems are modeled and manipulated in software, and realized in hardware to demonstrate what differences may occur with real-life applications. By solving control problems using software-based virtual instruments and actual hardware, students gain an appreciation of the interaction of process instrumentation and computers. Moreover, this practical activity can be carried out at any time from anywhere to efficiently support automatic control study.
