Introduction to Data Acquisition with LabView

Overview

Main description

King's Introduction to Data Acquisition teaches students how to measure physical properties with a computer based instrumentation system. It uses numerous examples and the National Instruments LabVIEW graphical programming environment to lower the barriers to learning and reduce the time required to successfully perform automated measurements. LabVIEW is a powerful graphical programming environment that abstracts tedious low-level interface, syntax, and formatting tasks allowing users to focus on higher level goals and accomplish more.
