As a result a number of computer oriented educationalpackages that are directed toward the introductory physics laboratory experience have beendeveloped.11-13Rather than adopt one of these packages we decided to employ LabVIEW, a commerciallyoriented data acquisition environment, in the computerization of our laboratory.
