JCB30304 Data Acquisition System: Chapter 2: Basic Programming Miss Nur Fazira Haris

The document discusses LabVIEW MathScript, which allows users to perform textual mathematical programming in LabVIEW. It describes the MathScript window and nodes that allow embedding scripts in LabVIEW block diagrams. Examples are provided on plotting graphs and using built-in functions to analyze vectors. The document aims to introduce readers to the basic features and use of MathScript.

CHAPTER 2
 MATLAB Script
MathScript
 The “LabVIEW MathScript Window” is an interactive interface in which you
can enter .m file script commands and see immediate results, variables and
commands history. The window includes a command-line interface where
you can enter commands one-by-one for quick calculations, script
debugging or learning. Alternatively, you can enter and execute groups of
commands through a script editor window.
 You can use the “LabVIEW MathScript Window” to enter commands one at
time. You also can enter batch scripts in a simple text editor window, loaded
from a text file, or imported from a separate text editor. The “LabVIEW
MathScript Window” provides immediate feedback in a variety of forms,
such as graphs and text.
LabVIEW MathScript
 Combine textual math
and graphical
programming
 Reuse many of your m-
file scripts created with
The MathWorks, Inc.
MATLAB® software
What Is LabVIEW MathScript?
Powerful textual programming for
signal processing, analysis, and math
More than 650 built-in functions
Reuse many of your m-file scripts created
with The MathWorks, Inc. MATLAB® and others
Based on original math from NI MATRIXx

A native LabVIEW solution


Interactive and programmatic interfaces
Does not require third-party software
MathScript Features
MathScript Feature Description

Powerful Textual Math Over 650 built-in functions for math, signal processing and analysis

Math-Oriented Syntax Matrices and arrays are fundamental datatypes.


and Datatypes Largely support vectorized operations

Compatible Generally compatible with the widely used m-file script syntax

Extendible Define custom functions

Part of LabVIEW Does not require third-party software to compile and execute

Programmatic LabVIEW
Combine graphical & textual code programming
Interface
MathScript Details
 Part of the Full, Professional, Student and Evaluation
editions of LabVIEW, for Windows platforms only
(no Linux, Mac, RT, etc.)
 MathScript is NOT a standalone replacement for
alternative technical computing software
 Third
party toolboxes are not supported
 Some commands and variable types are not supported
How do I use Mathscript?
 MathScript can be used in two ways

 In a MathScript window as a desktop mathematical tool


independent of LabVIEW

 In a MathScript node which appears as a frame inside the


Block diagram of a VI (available on the Functions /
Mathematics / Scripts & Formulas palette.)

Exercise 1
In the MathScript window,
 Create an array 𝑎 = 1,2,3,4,5.

 Create an array 𝑏 = 2,4,6,8 … 20.

3 9
 Define the matrix .
6 −5
Exercise 2
Given the vector:
>>x=[1 2 5 6 8 9 3]
→ Find the mean value of the vector x.
→ Find the minimum value of the vector x.
→ Find the maximum value of the vector x.
Example: Plotting
 Function plot can be used to produce a graph from
two vectors x and y.
x = 0:pi/100:2*pi;
y = sin(x);
plot(x,y)

Exercise: Plotting
MathScript Node
 Embed MathScripts into LabVIEW code
on the block diagram
 Populate with m-file script text
 Type m-file scripts directly into the node
 Import from files
 Create inputs/outputs on node edges
MathScript
 MathScript compiles script when run Node
 Unlike MATLAB® script nodes, MathScript
script nodes do not require third-party
software

Node
 Combine graphical system design with textual math
 Deploy with LabVIEW graphical programming
 Implement equations and algorithms with text
Goal: Multiple Programming Approaches

Freedom to choose the best approach Reuse your existing code

Add interactive user interfaces to your Integrate math with real-world I/O and
algorithms instrument control
LabVIEW Mathscript
 A LabVIEW tool for executing textual mathematical commands

 Matrix and vector based calculations (linear algebra)


 Visualization of data in plots
 Running scripts containing a number of commands written in a file
 A large number of mathematical functions. An overview is given later in
this document.
 MathScript command are equal to MATLAB commands (some MATLAB
commands may not be implemented).
