flow control or any ideas using labview

[yasmin]

Msc engineering assignment ...i have to design and build a hardware for industrial control application..?

the industry can be aerospace, automotive, manufacturing,medical, domestic..etc
I need an idea pls help..

Maybe get an engineering degree? Sorry if it sounds like a harsh reply but the question is extremely vague.

How about a computer controlled hydroponic hothouse tomato factory?

EDIT:  I thought it was silly too Steve, but at least I tried!

So you are looking for ideas on what to design and not how to design it? That makes a big difference. If it is the latter then it is actually a good question.

A fun and easy project is a temperature control loop. You can use a 35mm film canister (can you still get those?) with a lightbulb and a thermocouple inside of it. Using a PWM signal to the lightbulb controlled by LabVIEW you can set the temperature inside of the canister.

Is that what you are asking? Sorry if I misunderstood your post.

I say we go after a time machine. I bet we could get a DeLoran real cheap and it would not take long to whip up a flux capacitor.

I got the flux capacitor but I'm afraid I don't know where to get a DeLorean.

DeLoreans were made in Northern Ireland in the 70s.  Once we have a time machine we can go back and get one.

Ethernet Sniffer.

No hardware required beyond the PC. It will give you a chance to explore acquiring data from the network and formatting it for display. Optionally save the data to file for latter review. It may even give you a chance to spy on the person in the next dorm room and no flux capacitors or time machines required.

And the LabVIEW question here is? 

A whack-a-mole machine. A learning experience, and fun, too!

alfa beat you to it

Deloreans are available now, flux capacitors ...
