Annotation -
The course is intended to familiarize students with selected software tools for measurement and control. The most of the semester discusses mainly NI LabVIEW environment whose properties are to most of students of ICT Prague easily understandable. LabVIEW has a implemented "graphical" programming language that provides convenient and rapid application development for measurement and control in research areas and also in practice. It is not very complex and fundamental work with it can be handled without the knowledge of high-level programming languages. During the lectures and exercises are discussed possibilities and options of connectivity of measurement equipment to PC.

Course completion requirements -

The student will create a LabVIEW program on selected topic- connected with his thesis (topic should be approved by the teacher at the beginning of the semester). This program will be evaluated at the end of the semester.

The student must pass the final test with a score of at least 50% of the maximum.
