Data Acquisition for I.C. Engine Using Labview

[neo_2004]

Hey Guys !!! :headbang:

Can anybody provide me any code for programming Data Acquisition for I.C. Engine using Labview.

Thanks !!

What data do you want from the engine? What hardware are you using? Does the Engine use an ECM? Is it CAN based?

Tell me what you've got, what you want to do and maybe I can be of some help. I've worked with custom hardware and OEM ECM hardware. CAN would be a pain if you're not getting direct support from the ECM manufacturer and so I would recommend custom NI hardware. The best thing you can do when working with IC engines is to know what you want to do before buying anything. Certain testing requires very fast daq, some things like tuning can be done with relatively slow daq.

sorry, i have a stupid question, please give me an intelligent answer ;-)

what is ECM?

... google finds to many results, e.g.:

- Espresso Coffee Machines

- Enterprise Content Management

- blablabla

ECM, in the automotive industry, stands for Electronic Control Module.

"Electronic Control Modules are subsystems consisting of CPUs and assorted signal inputs and outputs dedicated to controlling a component within the vehicle. They range in complexity from an Engine Control Unit which handles the logic for managing the power-train system efficiency, to an Anti-lock Braking (ABS) Control unit that monitors vehicle speed and brake fluid, to a simple body module that controls the automatic door locks or power windows. In many cases, these modules communicate to each other through such protocols as CAN, LIN, J1850, and J1959. The NI Automotive Test Platform provides a flexible and scaleable test architecture that meets these technical requirements in a cost-effective manner, throughout the product lifecycle, from design validation through manufacturing and service."
