LabVIEW is used in the development of dedicated instruments for laboratory and industrial applications. This paper presents the implementation of Lab VIEW for weights measurement using load cell. Virtual instruments are presently used in scientific and industrial applications. Aim of this paper is to build a simple weighing machine implementing the Lab VIEW. The hardware, software details are presented in this paper. The results are satisfactory. This paper helps the students to understand and build a basic instrumentation system. Key words: LabVIEW, Weights measurement.
