Product Description
by Stephen Philip Tubbs (Author)
LabVIEW has the market on instrumentation to personal computer data retrieval and data manipulation. It is also capable of controlling instrumentation and equipment. It has few competitors. Monster.com has hundreds of advertisements for jobs requiring LabVIEW. The first purpose of this book is to quickly teach an electrical engineer or technologist how to use LabVIEW. The reader learns by example. Complete keystroke-to-keystroke details are provided for problem solution and documentation. Half of this book's examples demonstrate LabVIEW's abilities as a stand-alone programming language for performing numeric electrical computations. The other half gives examples with simulated and actual sensor and control circuits. The simplest and most basic uses of LabVIEW are in the first examples. The reader could use the examples' solutions as starting models for his own programs. It is assumed that the reader has an analytical electrical background of the sort that would be gained in a university electrical engineering or electrical engineering technology program. LabVIEW is available in a free 30 day full featured evaluation version. Its key features can be learned in 30 days.
