LabVIEW Core 1 Course Outline

Lesson Overview Topics
Navigating LabVIEW This lesson introduces the LabVIEW environment.
  • The LabVIEW environment including windows, menus, and tools
  • Creating and using LabVIEW projects
  • The LabVIEW front panel and block diagram
  • Searching for controls, VIs, and functions
Creating Your First Application This lesson teaches you how to build a simple LabVIEW application that acquires analyzes and presents data.
  • Understanding the dataflow programming model of LabVIEW
  • Recognizing different data types
  • Tools for developing, cleaning and organizing your VIs
  • Using Express VIs to build a basic VI
Troubleshooting and Debugging VIs This lesson teaches various debugging and error-checking techniques in LabVIEW. You will learn to identify problems with block diagram organization or with data passing within a block diagram.
  • Correcting broken VIs
  • Using common debugging techniques
  • Addressing undefined or unexpected data
  • Implementing error checking and error handling
Using Loops This lesson presents the different ways that you can iteratively execute LabVIEW code and techniques for managing loop execution
  • Using structures like the While Loop and For Loop
  • Adding software timing to your code
  • Sharing data between loop iterations
  • Plotting data to a waveform chart
Creating and Leveraging Structures This lesson introduces data types that combine related data into a single structure for improved data access and analysis.
  • Creating and using array controls and indicators
  • Creating and using cluster controls and indicators
  • Using type definitions to improve reuse of data structures in applications

 
Using Decision-Making Structures This lesson presents LabVIEW structures that you can use to implement decision-making algorithms in your applications
  • Creating and using Case structures
  • Creating and using Event structures
Modularity (SubVIs) This lesson introduces modular programming in LabVIEW. In LabVIEW,  VIs used within other VIs are called  subVIs. You will learn how to build the icon and connector pane of a VI so that it can be used as a subVI
  • Basics of modular programming
  • Creating an icon and connector pane
  • Using a VI as a subVI
  • Creating subVIs from an existing VI

 
Acquiring Measurements with Hardware This lesson describes the differences between NI DAQ systems and instrument control and how LabVIEW connects to hardware to get real-world measurements
  • Programming with the DAQmx API
  • Instrument control and programming with instrument drivers
Accessing Files in LabVIEW This lesson describes the basic concept of file I/O and teaches how to access and modify file resources in LabVIEW
  • High-level and low-level file I/O functions available in LabVIEW
  • Implementing File I/O functions to read and write data to files

 
Using Sequential and State Machine Programming This lesson introduces common LabVIEW design techniques and the state machine design pattern.
  • Techniques for sequential programming
  • Using state programming
  • Implementing a state machine design pattern
