Abstract
This experiment aims to learn simple instruments using LabVIEW
and acquire LINX-based data. The experiment was done by making
a sequence which was then connected with LabVIEW using a
microcontroller. So that the results obtained are the greater the input
voltage will increase
Key Word: Intrumen, LINX, Mikrokontroller
1. INTRODUCTION
Lighting technology is now experiencing very rapid
development. One of them is energy saving lamps,
namely LED. LED or Light Emitting Diode is a diode that
can emit light when receiving forward bias.
However in some lighting conditions, the intensity
of the emitted lamp is too large than needed. So that it is
necessary to set the light intensity that can be adjusted as
desired. With the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
method that uses a microcontroller, this can be achieved.
2. STUDY LITERATURE
a. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is generally a
way of manipulating the signal width expressed
by pulses in a period, to obtain different mean
stresses. PWM is a technique for getting analog
signals from a digital device. Some examples of
applications are modulating data for
telecommunications, controlling power or
voltage entering the load, voltage regulator,
audio effect and reinforcement, and other
applications.
Microcontroller based PWM applications are
usually in the form of DC motor speed control,
Servo Motor control, LED bright flame settings.
PWM signals generally have a fixed amplitude
and basic frequency, but have varying pulse
widths. PWM Pulse Width is directly
proportional to the amplitude of the original
signal that has not been modulated. That is, the
PWM signal has a fixed wave frequency but the
duty cycle varies (between 0% to 100%)
b. Arduino
Arduino UNO is a microcontroller board based
on ATmega328. Arduino UNO has 14 digital
input / output pins (6 of which can be used as
PWM output), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz Crystal
oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an
ICSP header, and a reset button. Arduino UNO
contains everything needed to support a
microcontroller, easily connects it to a computer
with a USB cable or supplies it with an AC
adapter to DC or uses a battery to get it started.
c. LabVIEW
LabVIEW (short for Laboratory Virtual
Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) is a
platform and development environment for the
visual programming language of National
Instruments. The graphic language is named "G".
Initially released for Apple Macintosh in 1986,
LabVIEW is usually used for data acquisition,
instrument control, and industrial automation on
 various platforms including Microsoft Windows, 4. ANALISYS
various flavors of UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X In this experiment make a system where the LED will
get brighter when the duty cycle gets higher, so that
between the led and photodiode are the opposite. The
experiment was carried out by first assembling the
required components on the breadboard, then connected
with Arduino. As explained in the methodology, the
photodiode sensor is connected with analog in A0 and 5V
input. because the sensor is the input of this instrument,
and the signal is an analog signal, it reads the brightest of
the sensors. Then the LED foot is connected to the
ground, the other leg is connected to the resistor
connected to the digital PWM. Digital PWM manipulates
digital output in such a way as analog output. One of the
advantages of Arduino is that it can send high and low to
activate or deactivate something, so that with this PWM
it can make the state of life and death smoother. And
because the life and death of the LED occurs because it
depends on the intensity received by the photodiode
sensor.
Then after the circuit in the breadboard is finished,
then continue by making the source code in the LabVIEW
diagram block. First connect Arduino with LabVIEW. To
