Pre-Lab:

1. Review labview programming using tutorials found at the national instruments site (www.natinst.com).

In-Lab:

1. Complete the Labview vision tutorial.

2. Modify the appropriate test program to read bar codes, and save them to a file

3. Modify the appropriate test program to read a dimension of arbitrary parts and write the dimension to a serial port.

Submit:
