EE - Data Collection System Verification using LabView & Matlab

The project objective is to create a method of verifying system capabilities upon new software releases. This will involve working with a real-time data collection system in order to verify calibration and other essential system functions continue to work correctly after updating LabVIEW and other drivers. The approach is staged and will require changes to LabVIEW code with verification using MATLAB. The student will be allowed to take the lead and plan the exact path forward. They will document necessary steps and features that must be checked whenever the software is to be upgraded.
