This thesis presented how a Servo motor is controlled by LabVIEW Presently, LabVIEW is a fully featured programming language produced by National Instruments. It is a graphical language by which code is constructed and saved. There is no text-based code of such, but a diagrammatic view of how the data flows through the program. Thus LabVIEW is a much loved tool of the scientist and engineer who can often visualise data flow rather than how a text based conventional programming language must be built to achieve a task.

In these recent years, LabVIEW has been widely used in scientific and engineering practice for a wide range of applications. For example, industrial purpose like a temperature sensor and in schools for teaching purposes. Virtual Instruments (VIs) are used in LabVIEW instead of programs. LabVIEW enables easy creation of front panel user interfaces and interactive control of the system. Functionalities are realized by assembling block diagrams.

This thesis focuses on LabVIEW control over Servo Motor Control system.
