Schoolproject: Tensile testing program in labview

[RobbeFeys]

We are a group of 5 students Industrial engineers who have to make a program to control an old Instron tensile tester through microchips. We have already a basic program but we have never worked with labview before and we don't know how to get further.

Is there someone who could help?

Your code is very difficult to read. Where exactly do you have a problem?  Try to use cases for each command you want to send.

I see that your code is in Dutch. I don't know from which University you are. But if your in the TU Delft you can go to a support department, for instance DEMO.

Were from the KU Leuven university. The file is the code we received and where we have to build on further. Indeed the code is very difficult to read that's why were having trouble figuring out what to do next, we've never worked with labview before.

I would throw away the told program and start over. Start with the command set that the chip has. Create a case in a case structure for each command.

Like this example:
