2、式,并且使工程师们在测量和控制方面得到强大功能和灵活性。2、虚拟仪器的概念虚拟仪器Virtual Instrument,简称 VI的概念是由美国国家仪器公司NI 在20 世纪 80 年代最早提出的。虚拟仪器就是在以通用计算机为核心的硬件平台上,由用户设计定义、具有虚拟前面板、测试功能由测试软件实现的一种计算机仪器系统。其核心的思想是利用计算机的强大资源使本来需要硬件实现的技术软件化,以便最大限度地降低系统成本,增强系统功能与灵活性。虚拟仪器代表着从传统硬件为主的测试系统到以软件为中心的测试系统的根本性转变。虚拟仪器的出现是仪器发展史上的一场革命,代表着仪器发展的最新方向和潮流,对科学技术的发展

4、用。函数信号发生器是在科学研究和工程设计中广泛应用的一种通用仪器。LABVIEW 软件开发平台具有以下优点:1图形化的编程方式,设计者无需写任何文本格式的代码,是真正的工程师的语言。2提供了丰富的数据采集、分析及存储的库函数。3既提供了传统的程序调试手段,如设置断点、单步运行,同时提供有独到的高亮执行工具,使程序动画式运行,利于设计者观察程序运行的细节,使程序的调试和开发更为便捷。432bit 的编译器编译生成 32bit 的编译程序,保证用户数据采集、测试和测量方案的高速执行。5囊括了 DAQ GPIB PXI VXI RS-232/485 在内的各种仪器通信总线标准的所有功能函数,使得不懂

5、总线标准的开发者也能够驱动不同总线标准接口设备与仪器。6提供大量与外部代码或软件进行连接的机制,诸如 DLL动态连接库、DDE 共享库、ActiveX 等。7强大的 Internet 功能,支持常用网络协议,方便网络、远程测控仪器的开发。图形化程序设计编程简单、直观、开发效率高。随着虚拟仪器技术的不断发展,图形化的编程语言必将成为测试和控制领域内最流行的发展趋势。4.虚拟仪器的发展方向虚拟仪器作为新兴的仪器仪表,其优势在于用户可自行定义仪器的功能和结构等,且构建容易、转换灵活,它已广泛应用于电子测量、声学分析、故障诊断、航天航空、机械工程、建筑工程、铁路交通、生物医疗、教学及科研等诸多方面。随

6、着计算机软硬件技术、通信技术及网络技术的发展,给虚拟仪器的发展提供了广阔的天地,国内外仪器界正看中这个大市场。测控仪器将会向高效、高速、高精度和高可靠性以及自动化、智能化和网络化的方向发展。开放式数据采集标准将使虚拟仪器走上标准化、通用化、系列化和模块化的道路。虚拟仪器作为教学的新手段,已慢慢地走进了电子技术的课堂和实验室,正逐渐改变着电子技术教学的传统模式,这也是现代教育技术发展的必然。在电工电子实验室的建设中,实验室常规设备有的已经老化,有的技术上有些落后,在当前学校经费较少的情况下,如果配置常规仪器、仪表,学校财力难以支付,也不符合目前学校的实际。而且,随着测试仪器的数字化、计算机化的发

7、展趋势,传统测试仪器渐渐有被取代的趋势。如果运用虚拟仪器技术,以微机为基础,构建集成化测试平台,代替常规仪器、仪表,不但满足电工电子实验教学的需要,而且将这批微机可作为其他有关计算机课程教学用机,大大提高了设备利用率,降低了实验室建设的成本。当前应该解决的是如何使虚拟仪器和现有仪器配合,挖掘现有仪器的潜力,达到逐步淘汰和取代传统仪器的目的。总之,虚拟仪器有很广阔的发展空间,并最终要取代大量的传统仪器成为仪器领域的主流产品,成为测量、分析、控制、自动化仪表的核心。5.信号发生器概述信号发生器signal generator又称信号源或振荡器,是一种能提供各种频率、波形和输出电平电信号,常用作测试

8、的信号源或激励源的设备。在生产实践和科技领域中有着广泛的应用。随着现代电子、计算机和信号处理等技术的发展,极大促进了数字化技术在电子测量仪器中的应用,使原有的模拟信号处理逐步被数字信号处理所代替,从而扩充了仪器信号的处理能力,提高了信号测量的准确度、精度和变换速度,克服了模拟信号处理的诸多缺点,数字信号发生器随之发展起来。传统的信号发生器其功能完全靠硬件实现,功能单一而且用户的购置、维护费用高。更重要的是,对于传统的信号发生器,其功能一旦确定便不能更改,用户要想使用新的功能则必须重新购买新的仪器,传统信号发生器的不足是显而易见的。虚拟仪器是将仪器技术、计算机技术、总线技术和软件技术紧密的融合在

9、一起,利用计算机强大的数字处理能力实现仪器的大部分功能,打破了传统仪器的框架,形成的一种新的仪器模式。本文摘译自:Computing Paradigm.ISBN:3-540-64948-4中原工学院信息商务学院外文翻译 二、英语原文 Virtual Instrument Technology and Its Development 1、The generation background of virtual instrument Today we are in a highly developed information society which require a limitedtime
