guys.....I'm working into a project where I need to measure the AC current and voltage , now i am using LabVIEW with arduino ,so, How can I do it? .....guys...
 

Without doing any research, I am assuming that the Arduino is talking to Labview vis the USB port as a serial device? If that is the case you need to have a few layers of hardware and software to do this.
1.) Reading the current and voltage
--You can read AC current with either a shunt resistor or a hall effect sensor. I am thinking the hall effect would be easier and is more common for AC signals.
--This link goes over AC voltage detection https://www.edaboard.com/threads/228921/
2.) Converting the readings
--Based on what sensors you use you will need to map that to a value either on the Arduino side or the labview side
3.) Send data to Labview
--This is a simple Serial print
4.) Labview use the data
--Use the data as you see fit
