LabVIEW for Everyone: Graphical Programming Made Easy and Fun 3rd Edition, Jeffrey Travis



Master LabVIEW 8 with the industry’s friendliest, most intuitive tutorial: LabVIEW for Everyone, Third Edition. Top LabVIEW experts Jeffrey Travis and Jim Kring teach LabVIEW the easy way: through carefully explained, step-by-step examples that give you reusable code for your own projects!

This brand-new Third Edition has been fully revamped and expanded to reflect new features and techniques introduced in LabVIEW 8. You’ll find two new chapters, plus dozens of new topics, including Project Explorer, AutoTool, XML, event-driven programming, error handling, regular expressions, polymorphic VIs, timed structures, advanced reporting, and much more. Certified LabVIEW Developer (CLD) candidates will find callouts linking to key objectives on NI’s newest exam, making this book a more valuable study tool than ever.

There was once a time when you had to do data acquisition in a lab completely by hand. Hooking up ammeters and voltmeters, and then labouriously taking down measurements into a lab book. If you wanted a graph, well, take out graph paper and some pencils. Things are radically different nowadays, and Labview makes data acquisition relatively easy. I say relatively, because the size of this book is a cautionary note. It is partly a reference manual, so that thankfully, you do not need to read most or all of it to do any useful data collection. But the book also functions as a teaching manual. Explaining in the early parts how to hook up a computer to instruments, often using the GPIB or serial port. Chapter 2 is this basic connection to the lab bench. It is very straightforward. It leads into later chapters, where the idea of block diagram programming in Labview is given. The block diagram approach is a modular one that is like applying a series of filters. Think of matrix algebra, if you have any background in that. Once you realise that a lot of the book's size is due to many choices of built in functions (blocks), then Labview becomes a lot less formidable. Basically, once you can use Labview in some simple way, then applying more sophisticated functions is easy.
