Load cell on labView

Hello Everyone,

I am working on a fatigue testing machine for a project at school . I will be designing a sensor that can show when the material going to fail. The load requirement is 5000 lb .  So after doing  some research, I picked a load cell that can afford that load and a signal conditioner to be able to record the data, and by using Arduino I can tell when the material going to fail and at what cycle. However, my professor suggested to use labView instead. I am not familiar at all with it. So what components i need to make the complete system of the sensor. Also, my professor mentioned Myrio but i am not sure what to do with it. 

i saw a video posted on Youtube by Labview Ni using some kind of a signal condition (USB 9237), will that be similar in my case. Do i need to use myrio here ?

Arduino is a hardware thing, LabVIEW is a programming language. So these sentences do not make too much sense: "and by using Arduino I can tell when the material going to fail and at what cycle. However, my professor suggested to use labView instead."

So you have a working Arduino based solution, and your professor suggested to use HW with LabVIEW instead? Could you clarify what actually need to do? Your professor wants you to use NI hardware (programmed using LabVIEW) instead of Arduino?

 

FYI, actually you can even use Arduino with LabVIEW (compile code for it, or at least interface it):
