Code Sample Descriptions
LabVIEW Counter and Theme Toggle
-- Initialize variables
count := 0
isDark := false
-- Increment and display
count := count + 1
Display("Counter: " & count)
-- Toggle theme
isDark := not isDark
Display("Theme: " & (if isDark then "Dark" else "Light"))
A simple counter with theme toggle simulation.
LabVIEW Fibonacci Sequence
-- Initialize variables
a := 0
b := 1
Display(a)
Display(b)
-- Loop for next 8 numbers
FOR i FROM 1 TO 8 DO
c := a + b
Display(c)
a := b
b := c
END FOR
Generates first 10 Fibonacci numbers.
LabVIEW Factorial Calculator
-- Initialize variables
n := 5
factorial := 1
FOR i FROM 1 TO n DO
factorial := factorial * i
END FOR
Display("Factorial: " & factorial)
Calculates factorial of a given number.
LabVIEW Even/Odd Checker
-- Initialize variable
num := 7
IF num MOD 2 = 0 THEN
Display("Even")
ELSE
Display("Odd")
END IF
Checks if a number is even or odd.
LabVIEW Sum of Array
-- Initialize array
arr := [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
sum := 0
FOR i FROM 0 TO LENGTH(arr)-1 DO
sum := sum + arr[i]
END FOR
Display("Sum: " & sum)
Calculates the sum of an array of numbers.
LabVIEW Reverse String
-- Initialize string
text := "Hello"
reversed := ""
FOR i FROM LENGTH(text)-1 DOWNTO 0 DO
reversed := reversed & text[i]
END FOR
Display("Reversed: " & reversed)
Reverses a given string.
LabVIEW Prime Checker
-- Initialize variable
num := 13
isPrime := true
FOR i FROM 2 TO num-1 DO
IF num MOD i = 0 THEN
isPrime := false
BREAK
END IF
END FOR
IF isPrime THEN
Display("Prime")
ELSE
Display("Not Prime")
END IF
Checks if a number is prime.
LabVIEW Multiplication Table
-- Initialize variable
num := 5
FOR i FROM 1 TO 10 DO
Display(num & " x " & i & " = " & (num * i))
END FOR
Displays multiplication table of a number.
LabVIEW Temperature Converter
-- Initialize variable
celsius := 25
fahrenheit := (celsius * 9 / 5) + 32
Display(celsius & "C = " & fahrenheit & "F")
Converts Celsius to Fahrenheit.
LabVIEW Simple Alarm Simulation
-- Initialize variables
temperature := 80
threshold := 75
IF temperature > threshold THEN
Display("Alarm: Temperature Too High!")
ELSE
Display("Temperature Normal")
END IF
