| Abstract |
|
Our application of LabVIEW(R) software for computer data-acquisition using several techniques used across our curriculum is described. The techniques are gas chromatography, calorimetry, titrations and other volume-dependent techniques, spectrometry for kinetics using a Spectronic 20(R), and emission spectroscopy. Applications of these techniques range from general chemistry to physical chemistry, instrumental analysis, and undergraduate research. The hardware in common for all of the techniques
is a 4-1/2 digit multimeter connected to the computer via a GPIB interface to a Macintosh computer. Figures include examples of a LabVIEW "virtual instrument" (VI) diagram, some student-generated data, and a LabVIEW VI front panel.
