Get up and running with LabVIEW ...

Virtual instruments created with the award-winning LabVIEW language become better and more ubiquitous all the time. This one-of-a-kind LabVIEW developer's kit gives you:

Virtual instruments -- quickly and cheaply

  • Powerful tools to build your own instrumentation with National Instruments' popular LabVIEW programming language, from the ground up
  • Step-by-step instruction in a breezy, easy-to-read style (written for nonprogramming scientists and engineers) from two top LabVIEW experts
  • A head start on common test and measurement instrument configurations
  • Tools for constructing LabVIEW instruments and controls to run anywhere and everywhere -- desktop PCs, embedded/single-board computers, Linux systems, and more
  • Recommendations on data acquisition (DAQ) cards—makes, models, and speeds
  • Make-it-work details on LabVIEW FPGA (field-programmable gate array) and RIO (reconfigurable input/output) technologies
