Lab 1 – NI ELVIS II Workspace EnvironmentFigure 1.0. NI ELVIS II WorkstationThe NI ELVIS II environment consists of the following components:Hardware workspace for building circuits and interfacing experimentsNI ELVIS II software (created in NI LabVIEW software), which includes the following: Soft Front Panel (SFP) instruments LabVIEW APIs Multisim APIsWith the APIs, you can achieve custom control of and access to NI ELVIS II workstationfeatures using LabVIEW programs and simulation programs written within Multisim.
Goal: This lab introduces NI ELVIS II by showing how you can use the workstation to measureelectronic component properties. Then you can build circuits on the protoboard and later analyzethem with the NI ELVIS II suite of SFP instruments. This lab also shows how you can useMultisim to design and simulate a circuit before building the circuit on the NI ELVIS IIworkstation and controlling it with a LabVIEW program.Required Soft Front Panels (SFPs)Digital Ohmmeter DMM[Ω],Digital Capacitance Meter DMM[C]Digital Voltmeter DMM[V]Required Components1.0 kΩ resistor, R1, (brown, black, red)2.2 kΩ resistor, R2, (red, red, red)1.0 MΩ resistor, R3, (brown, black, green)1 µF capacitor, CProject resistors – 7.5 kΩ, 1 kΩ, 2 kΩ, 4 kΩ, and 8 kΩ nominal valuesExercise 1.1: Measuring Component Values1. Connect the NI ELVIS II workstation to your computer using the suppliedUSB cable. The box USB end goes to the NI ELVIS II workstation and therectangular USB end goes to the computer. Turn on your computer and powerup NI ELVIS II (switch on the back of workstation). The USB ACTIVE(orange) LED turns ON. In a moment, the ACTIVATE LED turns OFF andthe USB READY (orange) LED turns ON.2. On your computer screen, click on the NI-ELVISmx Instrument LauncherIcon or shortcut. A strip of NI ELVIS II instruments appears on the screen.You are now ready to make measurements.Figure 1.1. Instrument Launcher Icon Strip3. Connect two banana-type leads to the digital multimeter (DMM) inputs (VA . ) and(COM) on the left side of the workstation. Connect the other ends to one of theresistors.
4. Click on the DMM icon within the Launcher strip to select the digital multimeter.Figure 1.2. Digital Multimeter, Ohmmeter configurationYou can use the DMM SFP for a variety of operations such as voltage, current, resistance, andcapacitance measurements. Use the notation DMM[X] to signify the X operation.The proper lead connections for this measurement are shown on the DMM front panel.5. Click on the Ohm button [Ω] to use the digital ohmmeter function, DMM[Ω]. Clickon the green arrow [Run] box to start the measurement acquisition. Measure the threeresistors R1, R2, and R3.Fill in the following data:R1R2R3(1.0 kΩ nominal)(2.2 kΩ nominal)(1.0 MΩ nominal)To stop the acquisition, click on the red square [Stop] box.
NOTE: If you click on the Mode box, you can change the {Auto} ranging to {Specify Range} andselect the most appropriate range by clicking on the Range box.End of Exercise 1.1Exercise 1.2: Building a Voltage Divider Circuit on the NI ELVIS IIProtoboard1. Using the two resistors, R1 and R2, assemble the following circuit on the NI ELVIS IIprotoboard.Figure 1.3. Voltage Divider Circuit2. Connect the input voltage, Vo, to the [ 5 V] pin socket.3. Connect the common to the [GROUND] pin socket.4. Connect the external leads to the DMM voltage inputs (VΩ . ) and (COM) on theside of the NI ELVIS workstation and the other ends across the input voltage, Vo, tomake the first measurement.5. Check the circuit and then apply power to the protoboard by pushing the prototypingboard power switch to the upper position [-]. The three power indicator LEDs, 15 V,-15 V, and 5 V, should now be lit and green in color.
