labview for motion detection

[xrty]

hi there, i need some help on my project.

now im doing a motion detection but is using labview to control. so is there anyone had done this before or there is such link to the one i needed help??

1) im using a PIR sensor to connect to my labview

2)quite new to labview and unsure how to start with a simple motion detection on labview.

thanks in advance

This is actually quite trivial since those PIR detectors just change a digital logic line when something moves into their view.  Any DAQ module with digital inputs would work fine.  Just look at the examples that ship with LabVIEW.  Help > Find Examples > Hardware IO > DAQmx > Digital Measurement

On the cheap you could even press your PCs COM port into service to read up to four PIR sensors using the handshaking signals.  ( See the Troubleshooting Serial Line Monitor.vi example)

Thanks for all the advice but I'm still stuck like how can I really use DAQ to configure my PIR sensor so that when there is movement the labview will show a LEF that will light up??

Connect PIR to DAQ

Read from DAQ (Measurement I/O Palette)

If PIR value changes (movement), then tell the led to turn on (otherwise tell it to turn off).

Repeat.

So I just have to put one DAQ and one LED and connect to my PIR sensor right??

You need to tell us which DAQ card you have or we can't give you much more help.
