Course Format
Overview
The first step in any NI LabVIEW learning path, LabVIEW Core 1 gives you
the chance to explore the LabVIEW environment, dataflow programming, and
common LabVIEW development techniques in a hands-on format. Learn to
develop data acquisition, instrument control, data-logging, and
measurement analysis applications. At the end of the course you will be
able to create applications using the state machine design pattern to
acquire, process, display and store real-world data.

At the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Understand front panels, block diagrams, icons, and connector panes
• Create user interfaces with charts, graphs and buttons
• Use the programming structures and data types that exist in LabVIEW
• Use various editing and debugging techniques
• Create and save VIs for use as subVIs
• Display and log data
• Create applications that use data acquisition (DAQ) devices
• Create applications that use GPIB and serial port instruments
• Use the state machine design pattern in your applications


Topics covered:
• Navigating LabVIEW
• Creating Your First Application
• Troubleshooting and Debugging VIs
• Using Loops
• Creating and Leveraging Structures
• Using Decision-Making Structures
• Modularity (subVIs)
• Acquiring Measurements with Hardware
• Accessing Files in LABVIEW
• Using Sequential and State Machine Programming

Duration: 3 days

Cost: Free of charge

Suitability: Research Postgraduate students and Research staff
