Course Description
This course is ideal if you want to record a lot of data about the real world from sensors so that you can analyze it later.
For example, you may want to record the volume of water that flows through a pipe, the temperature of a fridge, or the movement of a high-rise building due to winds. And, you may want to do this for ten years without any human intervention.
This course is also ideal if you want to control the environment based on the data collected from sensors.
For example, you may want to adjust the pressure in a water pipe using a variable valve if the pressure sensor shows it is above a certain threshold. Or, you may want to raise an alarm if the temperature of a fridge rises above 0°C.
What is LabJack?
LabJack is a tool for data acquisition and control.
LabJack was designed to be robust and reliable, to work autonomously in harsh environments for a long period of time, and to have a lot of input/output ports able to connect to a huge range of sensors and actuators.
LabJack can be used via an intuitive graphical user interface and is programmable using any one of the many mainstream programming languages.
You can start taking measurements without writing a single line of code.
You can also write simple or complex scripts that run both on the device or on a host computer to automate data acquisition and control through a network.
This course will teach you...
The basic concepts of data acquisition and control.
How to use a LabJack device without any programming.
How to network and automate DaQ tasks using languages like Lua and Python.
How to use LabJack's basic and extended port features.
And how to connect a variety of sensors and actuators to a LabJack device.

Easy to understand and in depth.
By Greg Olsen on 5/13/2024
The course was a great introduction to LabJack and it saved me a lot of time that I would have spent trying to figure things out myself. One criticism I have is that a lot of the material that consisted of screen shots of text the text was too small. It would have been better if somehow the text could have been larger. I had to use a magnifying glass to see a lot of the code examples. Also I am particularly interested in using the LabJack with I2C and that topic was not covered. Is there a more advanced LabJack course with I2C?
By Hendrik van der Laan on 4/10/2024
This course has been fantastic for a solid and thorough introduction for a technician like myself trying to navigate and get started and learn the capabilities of this amazing device. Thanks so much!

Like all of his courses, easy to follow and great communication skills...
By Thomas Schaertel on 10/11/2021
This is just a good introduction on LabJack T-devices. It helps to get you started with LabJack, ModBus, Lua and Python as it is clearly shown, where to get the needed information. Sometimes the hardware wirings just need a schematic instead of following the wires. It's a great start, but I miss some more advanced features like SPI, Stream, Watchdog and more. There is even additional software which is worth to mention for a lab and building test equipment.
By Rob Tayloe on 6/18/2021
I have taken several courses with Dr. Peter Dalmaris. I find his lectures to be well organized, an appropriate length, and most importantly I believe that I get much value from his courses. I like his approach to teaching these electronic topics.
