To be able to plan experiments. To be able to do literature research, including analysis of technical papers, and to show results either orally or in written form. To be able to plan and automatize experiments using LabVIEW as a control tool. To develop small projects, within a well defined field, using as much as possible LabVIEW tools.
Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering laboratory environment
Design and conduct experiments, analyze and critically results
Teamwork
Identifying, formulating and solving problems in physics and engineering
Domain of modern techniques and tools of physics and engineering
Presentation and communication skills
Basic programming and laboratory skills
1- Introduction to LabVIEW programming
a) Introduction - Virtual instruments (VI) - loops - cases and sequential structures - arrays, clusters and plotting - strings and input/output
b) Interfaces I/O - instrument drivers - VISA platform (virtual Instrument Software Architecture) - GPIB interface (General Purpose Interface Bus) - Data acquisition boards
c) Signal processing - digital processing - spectral analysis and measurement - filtering data - linear algebra and fitting - probabilities and statistics
d) Virtual experiments simulation
2- Realization of small projects with automatic control/acquisition. Examples of possible projects:
• To build a temperature controller, with LabVIEW, a thermistor as sensor and a signal acquisition board.
• To built a temperature measurement device using type K thermocouples and without reference junction.
• Automatic control and data acquisition applied to experimental setups assembled on departmental teaching labs
Laboratory classes with support from LabView Tutorials. Implementation of a small project of data acquisition, or device control, using LabView.

To obtain access to the evaluation the student must fulfil these requirements:
Participate in, at least, 3/4 of the classes.
Elaborate a written report of the activities in the project.
To the final grade there will be five elements with the following weights: Continuous evaluation = 10% Logbook=10% LabView test=30% Written report=30% Oral presentation=20%
Mandatory a minimum grade of 7.0 in LabView test
In the same academic year, in the remaining examination periods, only the component corresponding to the LabView test can be improved. The other assessment components can only be improved in the next year, under subparagraph b of paragraph 2 of Article 12 of the FCUP’s " Regulamento de avaliação do aproveitamento dos estudantes", through a new frequency to the Course Unit. This application is made at the beginning of the school year and accounted for the maximum of credits that the student can register.
