About This Course

This course teaches you how to use LabVIEW to develop test and measurement, data acquisition,
instrument control, datalogging, measurement analysis, and report generation applications. This
course assumes that you are familiar with Windows, Mac OS, or UNIX and that you have
experience writing algorithms in the form of flowcharts or block diagrams.
The course is divided into lessons, each covering a topic or a set of topics. Each lesson consists of
the following:
An introduction that describes the purpose of the lesson and what you will learn
A description of the topics in the lesson
A set of exercises to reinforce those topics. Some lessons include optional and challenge
exercise sections or a set of additional exercises to complete if time permits.
A summary that outlines important concepts and skills taught in the lesson
Several exercises in this manual use one of the following National Instruments hardware products:
A plug-in multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) device connected to a DAQ Signal
Accessory containing a temperature sensor, function generator, and LEDs
A GPIB interface connected to an NI Instrument Simulator
If you do not have this hardware, you still can complete most of the exercises. Be sure to use the
demo versions of the VIs when you are working through exercises. Exercises that explicitly require
hardware are indicated with an icon, shown in Figure 1. You also can substitute other hardware for
those previously mentioned. For example, you can use a GPIB instrument in place of the NI
Instrument Simulator, or another National Instruments DAQ device connected to a signal source,
such as a function generator.

B. What You Need to Get Started

Before you use this course manual, ensure you have all the following items:
(Windows) Windows 98 or later installed on your computer; (Mac OS) System 10.2 or later

Solaris 2.5.1 or later and X Window System server, such as OpenWindows, CDE, or X11R6,
or a PC running Linux kernel 2.0.x or later for Intel x86 processors
(Windows) Multifunction DAQ device configured as device 1 using Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX)
DAQ Signal Accessory, wires, and cable

This course assumes you are using the default installation of LabVIEW. If you have changed the
palette views from the default settings, some palette paths described in the course may not match

your settings. To reset palette views to LabVIEW defaults, select ToolsOptions and select
Controls/Functions Palettes from the top pull-down menu. Set Palette View to Express and set
Format to Standard. Click the OK button to apply the changes and close the dialog box.

D. Course Goals and Non-Goals

This course prepares you to do the following:

Understand front panels, block diagrams, icons, and connector panes

Use the programming structures and data types that exist in LabVIEW
Use various editing and debugging techniques
Create and save VIs so you can use them as subVIs
Display and log data
Create applications that use plug-in DAQ devices
Create applications that use serial port and GPIB instruments

This course does not describe any of the following:

Every built-in VI, function, or object; refer to the LabVIEW Help for more information
about LabVIEW features not described in this course
Analog-to-digital (A/D) theory
Operation of the serial port
Operation of the GPIB bus
Developing an instrument driver
Developing a complete application for any student in the class; refer to the NI Example
Finder, available by selecting HelpFind Examples, for example VIs you can use and
incorporate into VIs you create

A. O ovom teaju
Ovaj teaj e vas nauiti kako koristiti LabVIEW za izradu aplikacija za ispitivanje i mjerenje,
prikupljanje podataka, upravljanje instrumentima, izradu zapisnika, analizu mjerenje i generiranje
izvjea o mjerenju. Podrazumijeva se da ste upoznati sa sustavom Windows, Mac OS, ili UNIX i
da imate iskustva pisanja algoritama u obliku dijagramima ili blok dijagrama.
Teaj je podijeljen u nastavne cjeline (lekcije) i svaka pokriva temu ili skup tema. Svaki sat se
sastoji od sljedeeg:
