The Caliper

Vernier Webcam

Check out the Webcam located in our classroom at Vernier Software & Technology in Portland, Oregon. You will need the LabVIEW Runtime Engine (free download from our web site) on your computer to view and control this demo. With a click on the panel, you can take control of this hardware from anywhere in the world with an internet connection. You can control the brightness of the small lamp (connected to the analog output line of LabPro) and see the resulting change in brightness measured by a Light Sensor. You can rotate the camera using a DCU connected to the LabPro. This project is just one example of the neat things you can do with LabPro and the Remote Panels feature of LabVIEW.

LabVIEW Update
We continue to develop sample programs for collecting data and controlling the outputs of LabPro using National Instruments’ LabVIEW. These programs (VIs) are posted as free, open-source code on our web site at www.vernier.com/labview. Included are new VIs done in a state machine design. If you are interested in being informed about future LabVIEW workshops and developments, send an e-mail to David Vernier (dvernier@vernier.com).
