Summary

King's Introduction to Data Acquisition with LabVIEW teaches students how to automatically measure physical properties with LabVIEW--LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of platforms. The text uses numerous examples and the National Instruments (NI) Corporation LabVIEW graphical programming environment to lower the barriers to learning and reduce the time required to successfully perform automated measurements. LabVIEW (short for Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) is a program development application, much like C or FORTRAN. LabVIEW is, however, different from those applications in one important respect. Other programming systems used text-based languages to create lines of code, while LabVIEW uses a graphical programming language, G, to create programs in block diagram form. King's Introduction to Data Acquisition with LabVIEW is a comprehensive, up to date text. A student edition CD of the LabVIEW software is included with each copy of the text.
