Abstract
Weather can be unpredictable as there are a lot of uncertainties in predicting thunderstorms. Most of our navigation systems, including those on air, land and water, as well as broadcasting systems, are directly affected by the weather on a daily basis. The inconsistent and unreliable nature of storms brings out the importance of research in atmospheric electric field data logging systems. This paper presents a study to develop a virtual instrument with the capability to analyse and store the magnitude (data) of atmospheric electric fields. The study was carried out using a LabVIEW virtual instrument and tested using data acquisition (DAQ) and a function generator. The developed virtual instrument consists of waveform chart, tabulated data, and histogram for real time observation. Moreover, it has feature to save and recall data for further analysis.
