Features: This book is based on LabVIEW 7.1 and introduces the basic content of LabVIEW programming and some issues in virtual instrument design. The book consists of 20 chapters. Chapters 1 to 11 cover the basic content and programming methods of the LabVIEW language, including virtual instruments and LabVIEW basics, VI editing and debugging techniques, program structures, arrays, clusters, and waveforms, graphical display ExpressVI, strings and file I/O, data collections, signal analysis, dynamic program control, and instrument control. Chapters 12 to 20 provide examples of virtual instrument design applications, including sweep generators, measurement of component volt-ampere characteristics, AC parameter measurement, frequency measurement, oscilloscopes, parameter identification, network applications, instrument control applications, and the use of sound cards in data acquisition. The book offers multiple virtual instrument design proposals suitable for teaching, with varying difficulty levels. This book can serve as a textbook or reference for virtual instruments and related courses in colleges and universities, or as a reference for engineering technicians engaged in related work.
