Research and application of virtual instrument for tank integrated simulator based-on LabWindows

Tank situation display system is a basic component of the tank integrated simulator. This paper describes the design process of virtual instrument for tank integrated simulator based on LabWindows. The hardware architecture and diagrams of system are introduced first. The software module architecture and design development process are given later. The research of several key issues is focused on, such as signal collection, communication in TCP model, control of operation load system as well as parameters tests in automatic condition. And finally practical interface images of tank virtual instruments which give a powerful technical support for detection and maintenance are achieved so that met the demands for training purpose.
