Demonstration of level control

Front Panel

•Controls = Inputs

•Indicators = Outputs



Block Diagram

• Accompanying “program” for front panel

• Components “wired”  together
• The program is known as VI and file saved with extention .vi

Addition of two numbers

• Take 2 numeric input on front panel

• Take 1 output indicator on front panel and place them properly.

• Take sum function on block diagram.

• Connect inputs of sum function using wire

• Connect indicator with output.

• Run the application.
