How to use NI elvis/labVIEW in mechatronics engineering education

Abstract

Mechatronics engineering is one of the trendiest branches of engineering discipline nowadays, which combines mechanical and electrical engineering knowledge with information technology. So in the education of engineering students, to become mechatronics engineers, we have to introduce interdisciplinary techniques too. There were several programs developed in the last three decades, but the most useful programs should provide platform for system design and present a suitable environment for development. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is such a programming language and its graphical nature and visual clarity makes it a good candidate to become a teaching tool in several different subjects.
