Abstract
A genetic algorithm for instrumentation control and
optimization was developed using the LabVIEW graphical
programming environment. The usefulness of this
methodology for the optimization of a closed loop
control instrument is demonstrated with minimal
complexity and the programming is presented in detail
to facilitate its adaptation to other LabVIEW
applications. Closed loop control instruments have
variety of applications in the biomedical sciences
including the regulation of physiological processes
such as blood pressure. The program presented here
should provide a useful starting point for those
wishing to incorporate genetic algorithm approaches to
LabVIEW mediated optimization of closed loop control
instruments.
