Learning LabVIEW

- As a scientist or engineer, you'll often need to develop software that interfaces with test and measurement equipment, to acquire and generate signals, analyze data, control systems, and automate processes. LabVIEW is a systems engineering platform that makes doing all of that as quick and painless as possible. Unlike traditional text-based programming languages, LabVIEW uses a graphical programming environment. You write a program in LabVIEW by drawing a diagram. We'll look at the core components that make up most programs including different data types, and execution control mechanisms, like loops, shift registers, and case structures. We'll also explore how to debug and handle errors when your LabVIEW program doesn't work quite right. And finally, we'll use LabVIEW's express tool set to rapidly build applications for some of the most common uses cases. I'm Barron Stone, and I've been using LabVIEW for over a decade as an engineer. My goal is to get you up and running with LabVIEW as quickly as possible, so let's get started.
