LabVIEW for Engineers /by Ronald W. Larsen. In the past, LabVIEW was just a graphical programming language that was developed to make it easier to collect data from laboratory instruments using data acquisition systems. LabVIEW was always easy to use once you got used to wiring connectors to write your computer programs, and it definitely makes data acquisition an easier task than without LabVIEW, but LabVIEW is not just for data acquisition any more. LabVIEW can be used to perform the following: • acquire data from instruments • process data (e.g., filtering, transforms) • analyze data • control instruments and equipment For engineers, LabVIEW makes it possible to bring information from the outside world into a computer, make decisions based on the acquired data, and send computed results back into the world to control the way a piece of equipment operates.
