This is not a book on how to do specific activities in LabVIEW such as signal processing. Instead it is a general usage book for anyone who anticipates needing LabVIEW regardless of the application. This book takes you from the very beginnings of using LabVIEW and includes making connections via GPIB, the user interface, creating virtual instruments (VI's) and subVI's via the user interface. The book then moves on to show how program constructs such as while loops, timed structures, strings, and arrays are also built into the interface. Next, the necessary business of data I/O is covered including file I/O, connecting your computer to the signals that are to be measured, and networking results. The final chapter covers enhancing your interface with such things as importing pictures, custom controls, and adding online help. This book is very accessible and makes heavy use of illustrations and screenshots of the application in particular so that the reader can follow along and be sure that he/she understands how to perform each action being described. Each chapter has various labs/activities that test the reader's understanding of how to perform various functions. After you finish this book, Gary Johnson's "LabVIEW Graphical Programming", which is a more detailed and intermediate book, might make more sense and therefore be advantageous.
