Design of virtual instrument for radio telemetry station

This paper describes the design of a virtual instrument (VI) for the remote telemetry station (RTS) of a radio telemetry system. The graphical programming language from LabVIEW was used to design and construct the VI. The task of RTS is to acquire, process, display and transmit environmental conditions data such as atmospheric pressure, humidity and temperature to the base telemetry station (BTS) via RF. The scope of this paper is to focus on the design and development of the RTS VI, which is composed of front panel and block diagram. The front panel was designed so that the user can control the acquisition and observe the data being acquired in numerical and graphical format on the computer screen. The block diagram, which is the program code was developed using graphical functions for controlling the front panel objects.
