**6. Education**

Many real time remote –based laboratory models have been constructed to help the students in schools and higher education institutions to perform the research and gain the knowledge from their own location itself. Several laboratories including the light sensing experiment designed by Singh et al. [14] using LabVIEW, LDR and LM35 sensor, the phasor estimation algorithm using NI ELVIS kit designed by Mondal et al. [15], operational process monitoring application using SHRIMP VL application, analog electronics experiment using "RedPitaya" [16] etc. The LabVIEW has been effectively and efficiently included in many studies in literature to enhance and boost the research community. Polat et al. [17], designed the Distance Vocation Education and Traning D-VET to monitor the lighting levels of LED lamps in remote laboratory with the help of PID controller, Sensor, Actuator, NI-IMAQ software and CompactRIO DAQ.

Azenova et al. [18] designed an e-learning course for second year industrial students under the category of laboratory experiments in electronics. The LabVIEW is incorporated in the Goodyear e-learning model they have adopted for implementing to their students. The basic laboratory experiments like clipper, clamper, inverting and non-inverting amplifier, summing and differential amplifier were simulated with the help of virtual instruments front panel in LabVIEW.

## **7. Miscellaneous applications**

The fault detection in analog circuit can be easily analyzed with the help of LabVIEW interfaces using deep forest learning method. Zhen et al. [19] have designed the fault diagnosis scheme with the Waveform generator Agilent 33250, Data acquisition module NI 1042q, LabVIEW, Digital oscilloscope Agilent 54853 along with power supply and testing circuit. The outputs of testing circuit are collected by data acquisition module and stored in the LabVIEW and used for further diagnosis.

For assessing the quality of water to ensure the living of aquatic species like fishes in a healthy environment. Othman et al. [20], proposed a system using the sensors to measure the pH level and temperature of the water in the tank. The data

Ahmed et al. [21] discussed the implementation of LabVIEW software to control the FESTO MPS PA compact workstations as part of remote laboratory. In the paper they designed the Easyport USB data acquisition card based on activeX elements to interface with LabVIEW and control the applications in Fluid Lab. To obtain the real time information from the Sensors and actuators of MPS-PA station various VI were included. To incorporate remote monitoring web server of LabVIEW is required. With the help of the VI the user can adjust the parameters of Controller and with help of IP camera and web server the MPS PA compact workstation can be monitored remotely. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) and ON/OFF controllers these two experiments as part of laboratory course were implemented using the

Mikhoylov et al. [22] aimed to monitor the specific content from the broadcast channels using the help of Cognitive Radio (CR). For the real time data analytics, particular subset of channels from the selective frequency range will be chosen and the significant information in the subset will be relayed for monitoring in the remotely using the VI from LabVIEW. For monitoring Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology USRP 2900/2901 and LabVIEW were utilized in the design. The key factor in the application is to either receive & process or transmit the subset of signals in the

digitized format with the help of the packages available in the LabVIEW.

The applications of LabVIEW in electronics and communication field has been presented in this chapter. The role of LabVIEW in Speech signal processing, Photovoltaic cell emulator, Fault diagnosis scheme, Cognitive radio signal analysis, FESTO workstation control, Water tank surveillance, Embedded system like the Crude Oil Separator, smart turf harvesting machine and robotics applications were discussed briefly. The demonstration and exploration of laboratory courses for school and college students are in reach of hand because of the interface provided
