how to build a synchroscope for a generator

Hi i am trying to simulate a synchroscope in labview.   Would anyone have any idea how to go about this.  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Paul,

 

Are you looking to simulate the signals or do you have hardware?

If you're new to LabVIEW, below is a great source of information:

It is also definitely worth looking at the examples included with LabVIEW (Help -> Find Examples).

You will need to measure at least one phase of each grid and display the phase difference.

 

In LabVIEW synchronously sample the two phases and use the extract single tone.vi to get the phases..

(Two small transformer, two voltage divider and a soundcard should be enough for this little project) OK, building a nice indicator it another task 🙂

 

I learned it the old school way with three incandescent lamps over the power switch... and only switch if all lamps are dark 😉

 

 

UPs you only want to simulate:  Use the create sine waveform vi for two sine with known phase .....

(And no danger of high voltage 😄 )
