LEDs turn on when a 1 is written to them. They turn off when a 0 is sent.

Switches states can be read in LabVIEW If a switch is pressedSwitches states can be read in LabVIEW. If a switch is pressed, then its state is 1.

Part 2: Audio LED VU Meter

For audio systems or recorders, an audio VU (VU standsFor audio systems or recorders, an audio VU (VU stands for Volume Units) meter is a device that indicates the relative levels of the audio being recorded or played.

An audio signal is acquired and and its energy level is compared with different levels If the energy is highercompared with different levels. If the energy is higher than a certain level, corresponding LEDs will be turned on.

Sinusoidal Signals and FrequencySinusoidal Signals and FrequencyA sinusoid is any function of time having the

following form:

Sinusoidal Signals and Frequencyg q yWaveforms can be expressed as the sum of various

sinusoidal componentssinusoidal components.

Sinusoidal Signals and FrequencySinusoidal Signals and Frequency

Signals (voice, music…) are composed g ( ) pof different frequency components. For example, voice signals are composed of frequencies ranging from p q g g300 Hz to 3300 Hz, while music frequencies range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

One can take advantage of this fact to eliminate unwanted frequencies.

What is a filter?What is a filter?A filter is a device that accepts an input signal, and

passes or amplifies selected frequencies while itpasses or amplifies selected frequencies while it blocks or attenuates unwanted ones.

Filters can be analog or digitalFilters can be analog or digital.The Frequency Response of a filter is the measure of

the filter's response (filter output) to a sinusoidalthe filter s response (filter output) to a sinusoidal signal of varying frequency and unit amplitude at its input.p
