 Good book on general LabVIEW programming from the ground up Oct 28, 2006
By calvinnme
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.

 The Single Best Overall Book On LabVIEW Jul 02, 2007
By Michael C. Ashe
If you are a beginner to intermediate with LabVIEW, then the 3rd Edition is the single best book on LabVIEW available to you as of summer of 2007. If your budget only allows for one or a few books, put this one at the top of you list. I have read this book cover to cover, twice, and some sections in further detail as well as worked through all of the example code in detail.
I won't repeat the fine comments of others in their reviews. I speak from the perspective of 15+ years of working with LabVIEW, as a beginner in the early 1990s, a Certified LabVIEW instructor in the mid 90s, a small control and test system business founder and owner since the late 90s and an enthusiastic member of the LabVIEW community all during that time. I have bought most of the LabVIEW books that have ever been published as well as the (late) LTR newsletter and this 3rd Edition is the best book I have come across. If I were hiring someone new to do LabVIEW work, I'd give them a copy of this book first. The investment is a no brainer.

an easy modular approach Sep 26, 2006
By W Boudville
[A review of the 3rd EDITION 2006.]
There was once a time when you had to do data acquisition in a lab completely by hand. Hooking up ammeters and voltmeters, and then labouriously taking down measurements into a lab book. If you wanted a graph, well, take out graph paper and some pencils. Things are radically different nowadays, and Labview makes data acquisition relatively easy.
I say relatively, because the size of this book is a cautionary note. It is partly a reference manual, so that thankfully, you do not need to read most or all of it to do any useful data collection. But the book also functions as a teaching manual. Explaining in the early parts how to hook up a computer to instruments, often using the GPIB or serial port. Chapter 2 is this basic connection to the lab bench. It is very straightforward. It leads into later chapters, where the idea of block diagram programming in Labview is given. The block diagram approach is a modular one that is like applying a series of filters. Think of matrix algebra, if you have any background in that.
Once you realise that a lot of the book's size is due to many choices of built in functions (blocks), then Labview becomes a lot less formidable. Basically, once you can use Labview in some simple way, then applying more sophisticated functions is easy.

For everyone who uses LabVIEW Sep 25, 2006
By P. Gaier
I've programmed in C, BASIC, and assembly in the past but I will never go back. I learned LV years ago with the first edition of this book and I love this software! One of my better decisions since now I make a living exclusively integrating hardware and writing code in LV. I plan on getting certifications after going through this edition. The style is engaging, light and straightforward. Even if you attend National Instruments formal training classes this book is a 'must have'. I always have it within reach at my desk.

LabVIEW for Everyone Nov 09, 2006
By J. Clifton
I'm about halfway through a very detail oriented manual "LabVIEW for Everyone" and find it an amazing and easy learning resource. It provides linear training and examples, always building on previous exercises. You need to own a copy of the LabVIEW software or use the 30 day evaluation version. I highly recommend this book if you're trying to come up to speed with LabVIEW.
