pressure sensor suitable for interfacing with labview

[DaSat]

Please i need recommendations on pressure and acoustic sensors suitable for interfacing with labview

Hi,

LabVIEW is a programming language. So did you already ask for sensors suitable to interface with C, JAVA, PASCAL or any other programming language you can think of?

You better ask (yourself) what kind of hardware is needed to get measurement values into your computer.

You may also ask for sensors suitable for specific interfaces...

Usual sensors have either voltage or current signals and you need some DAQ hardware to read them into your computer...

I'm a bit new to this, but i was encouraged to try using labview for the project which is monitoring of water pipes with wireless sensors.

I would say the introduction to labVIEW tutorials on the NI site would be a great place to start. The 6 Hr one is good. Also the book "labVIEW for Everyone" is an excellent book for learning lots about LV.

labVIEW can work with thousands of sensors, you will need a DAQ card to input the signals from the sensor you choose depending on your needs.  A simple sensor that varies an analog voltage proportionate to pressure with a 0 to 5V output would be easy to interface to a simple DAQ. like a 6008 or 6009. but you are going to have to learn some labVIEW FIRST, before you start on the hardware. Other wise you will remain lost!
