If these are useful to get you started, great, but there are big differences, specifically LV processes discrete chunks of data in a synchronized fashion. It is somewhat more like a digital circuit with clocking and enabling controlled by the dataflow needs.

Re: please some tell me how to start programing in labview
 

I know how to start programming in Labview, but I'm looking for info about doing advanced stuff like inter-task communication (eg, semaphores).

Is that included in the book, "Labview For Everyone"?

If not, can anyone recommend a book that covers it?

Thanx.

Run the benchtop control system test to make sure everything is working and set up correctly. Then start with very very simple programming tasks and work your way up. Look for concrete examples in the manuals. I found some in WPI's C/C++ Programming Guide. Even if you are using LabView, these examples are still relevant since you will be using the same WPI functions to get the job done.

Yep, that's in it. Beginning of Chapter 13, I believe. It also covers state machines, queues, locked resources, local and global variables, and some other cool stuff.
Unfortunately, the book is around $70 (I don't know why they never make $25 textbooks)
