Hi,
I need help in developing labview code. I am new to labview and will appreciate if someone can help me in this matter. I need to control the intensity of AC load (halogen lamp with 2kW,230V,50Hz) using Labview and Arduino. But my project using interrupt in Arduino, so it is not possible to use Labview Interface For Arduino(LIFA). I searched and it might be possible to use VISA serial in this matter. Attached is the circuit and the code of Arduino. Someone who is expert in this matter can help me?
The concept of my project is almost same with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeVJ5bs6E8M&feature=youtu.be

Dear Felicia,
You can use LabVIEW to create a monitoring application for your system. You can tell your arduino (or any other micro-controller) to send and recieve Serial commands (UART-RS232) with LabVIEW and monitor the the intensity of your Halogen Lamp.
Regards.

Could you please give me some idea how to develop the labview vi based on the arduino code attached?

Hi,
You will find all information you need and LabVIEW VI examples on the LabVIEW Interface for Arduino

Hi there,
I tried to use LIFA at first. but my project will be using interrupt in Arduino to monitor the AC phase control. therefore, due to the limitation in LIFA, interrupt can't be used. So i am now trying to move my target to visa serial in arduino. however, i am not sure in constructing the labview vi. my Labview will be used to control the intensity of the halogen lamp. (by using the slider in the front panel)

LabVIEW ships with serial port communication examples.
