Introduction to LabVIEW and Instrument Control

When you use a PC to automate a test system, you are not limited to the type of instrument you can control. You can mix and match instruments from various categories. The most common categories are GPIB, USB, serial, modular instruments, and PXI modular instruments.

This session provides overview on the software and showcase how to:

1. Check for communication of external instruments
2. Build your first LabVIEW Application
3. Using LabVIEW for Instrument Control
4. Leverage Instruments Driver for instruments control

LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment that provides unique productivity accelerators for test system development, such as an intuitive approach to programming, connectivity to any instrument, and fully integrated user interfaces.
