im sorry, im not simply run away... i got class right now..

i will explain when i back home ~sight~

I think what everyone has been trying to say is that you first need to understand how to take your measurements and define your test. It doesn't matter if you are going to use LabVIEW or not. You need to know what you need to do first. LabVIEW, or any programming language, is not the magic bullet for solving your problem. It is a tool which will allow you to execute your test automatically. Try sitting down with the equipment you will use (scopes, DMMs, DAQs, whatever) and try to execute the test manually. Once you have a grasp of that you can then look at using LabVIEW to actually perform the task for you. Your program will communicate with the same devices you used when you ran the tests manually. No one can give you a VI that will work for you since no one even knows what equipment you will be using. This information is vital to being able to write the program. In addition, no one here will write the program for you. We are more than willing to help answer questions and give you advice but it is your homework and project. After you have an idea of the actual steps you need to perform your test try writing a program in LabVIEW that will do what you want. Post your code and ask specific questions. If you need some initial help getting started with LabVIEW itself look through the examples. There will be examples that do some of the same basic things your application will be doing.

I really apreciate it...

but i dnt mean it actually...

i will learn more about labVIEW and hope u all will help me soon

People here are very willing to help but you have to understand that the majority of us are volunteers here. We have jobs and responsibilities as well. People who come here asking for help and start with "here is what I have done so far but I'm really having problmes with ..." get tons of answers. the folks who want to be handed a solution on a silver platter without putting in any effort on their part generally don't get as much assistance. If someone can't take some time and work on their own problem why should we spend our own limited time on it. No one is trying to blow you off. You have been given lots of good suggestions so far. This is also a good larning experience for you. In school you may be able to take the easy way out on some homework assignments and basically get the solution from somewhere else. However once you get out in th ereal world things don't work that way. Everyone is expected to put in the effort to do their job. That is all that is being asked here.

Last, a simple request from the folks here on the forums. Please treat this as a professional site and write out your questions. This is not a text messaging system. It is much easier to read and your questions will be received better. Again, its a good habit to get into. Communication skills are an important part of the interviewing and hiring practices of companies.

I really wish we had more than just a couple of minutes to edit a post. My last one is full of typos and I wish I could fix them, especially since I was discussing good communication skills. That's what I get for typing a fast reply.

True.  But I think normal people know there is a difference between a typo and typing in "text-speak" out of laziness.

PEOPLE,  PUT DOWN THE DAMN CELL PHONES AND START INTERACTING WITH THE WORLD AROUND YOU!  You may even find that it will keep you from walking out in front of and being killed by a bus!

Yea, me too. An hour would be nice.

Jadt, might i suggest opening labVIEW. Go to help > find examples. There is a section on labVIEW basics. Look at these VI's to get an idea of how to write a VI that reads Analog Input and Output. I am not sure you will be able to do this without some form of LabVIEW hardware unless you just inputted the numbers yourself into the GUI of your program you write and it checked to make sure those values were in the range specified and displayed a pretty Pass/Fail result. I don't think this would count as 'automated testing' and you might not get a good grade.

Ravens, he said his keyboard wasn't working. I don't think he is intentionally writing in abrev.

I read his comment as sarcasm.

Writing "u" instead of "you" isn't a keyboard problem.  It is a user problem.  A user who doesn't know how to communicate without thumbs flying like crazy on a tiny cell phone keypad.
