Abstract

This paper describes a range of interfacing experiments designed for physical or analytical undergraduate laboratories. Students use the LabVIEW (R) software package to control the acquisition of voltage information from experiments such as potentiometric titrations, and to control voltage output and input for experiments such as cyclic voltammetry or remote spectrophotometric sensing. Students can also be introduced to the icon-based LabVIEW language by designing modified programs to accomplish small projects, such as drop counting, photometric titration measurements, or generation of various voltage waveforms.
