Abstract:
This article presents a virtual instrument developed for relieving the
laboratory analyzing of environmental parameters.
The laboratory has been developed and equipped with high
performance equipment available on the market for the measurement of a
series of pollutants found in water, air, soil and for measuring noise from
various companies.
To reduce the work of studied laboratory personnel and to prevent
some human errors we developed specialized software using the LabView
programming environment.
The virtual instruments can turn the computer into a "command
server" of a network of measuring devices able to communicate through a
specific protocol.
Thus, connecting laboratory devices to a computer and implementing
the specialized software we can command all this devices, namely we
command taking, recording and processing results. In this way the
laboratory is brought one step higher in performance.
