how to write  an algorithm for lighting control sytem with light sensors using DAQ  in LABVIEW

[WayneS1324]

Thats like asking how to build a car with metal. We need more information.

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way

[kuhu]

which sensor is used for sensing light...

[AnalogKid2DigitalMan]

To start-

1. Photodiode

2. Photoresistor

3. Photovoltaic Cell (Solar cell)

4. Light emitting diodes can also be used

5. Phototransistor

6. CCD or CMOS elements (typically linear or array formats for cameras)

7. Eyeball

....

-AK2DM

[Mark_Yedinak]

By creating subVIs and putting code on the block diagrams.

And plants. Don't forget plants.

If you are old enough, photographic film.

I've always been partial to the venerable photomultiplier tube myself.

You called me out on that one, I have even used them too, quirky little high voltage beasts. Which reminds me:

-Avalanche Photodiode.

Would a picture of a plant have enhanced light sensitivity?
