Anotation:

A subject deals with programming virtual instruments based on standardized interfaces (PCI, PXI, VXI). Lectures are focused on application of up-to-date standards for data acquisition systems programming (VXIplug&play, VISA, IVI) and selected software techniques in Windows and Linux operating systems. Assigned software tasks in laboratories are solved using C/C++ language or LabVIEW environment.

Course outlines:

1. Virtual instruments (VIs) - introduction.
2. Operating systems for VIs including RTOS. Development of software applications.
3. The use of C/C++ language for programming measurement application.
4. Integrated development systems based on textual (C/C++) or graphical oriented languages (LabVIEW, VEE, etc.).
5. Standards programming VIs (VXIplug&play, IVI, VISA).
6. Hardware of VIs, influence of controller on VIs
7. Blocks for pro virtual instrumentation - functional and structural types of blocks for Vis, parameters.
8. Programming DAQ modules using registers or device drivers.
9. Multitasking in Win32 and Linux. Processes and threads, basic scheduling mechanisms. Threads synchronization.
10. Integration of VIs to computer network. API for communication protocols in Unix and Windows OS.
11. VIs working under RTOS
12. Integration of VI to hybrid DAQ systems. Time synchronization.
13. Design and implementation of VIs, practical aspects.
14. Advantages and disadvantages of VIs - analysis of development, production and operational costs, VIs resistance.

Exercises outline:

1. Assignment of projects focused on programming VIs integrated to distributed and hybrid DAQ system.
2. Integrated development system for Win32 application (under MS Windows or Phar Lap ETS), introduction.
3. Integrated development system for Linux application, introduction.
4. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
5. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
6. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
7. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
8. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
9. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
10. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
11. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
12. Solution of assigned projects - consultation.
13. Projects testing.
14. Project presentation, evaluation.
