    Interfacing a LabVIEW-driven DAQ instrument with LabWare LIMS
    Lakhanpal, Swati; Merchant, Mahesh
    The main purpose of this project is to automate information management and analysis, as well as to integrate different types of data. We intend to interface data acquisition (DAQ) instruments with LIMS by using LabVIEWTM. LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is graphical programming software from National Instruments (NI). LabVIEW is the tool of choice due to its unparalleled connectivity to instruments, powerful data acquisition capabilities, natural dataflow-based graphical programming interface, scalability, and overall function completeness and designed specially for data acquisition. NI has many kinds of DAQ instruments that can be used with LabVIEW DAQ VI‘s (LabVIEW programs). LabVIEW, plug-in data acquisition (DAQ) boards will help perform single point and continuous measurements. LabWare LIMS is able to interface to a variety of instruments using LabWare LabStation module. Integrated LabStation is used to validate the results. The data used and generated by the instruments using LabVIEW will be maintained by a LIMS.
