Re: Lab View

I'm glad to see you're interested in using LabVIEW. I would like to just add one thing to keep in mind while you're learning how to use LabVIEW - LabVIEW is a generic programming language! Everything you can do in C, you can do in LabVIEW, just the programming constructs are different (as they are in most languages). LabVIEW is graphical in nature, which means instead of having to use a clunky toolkit to get graphics or basic objects output to the screen, LabVIEW gives you the ability to generate a GUI natively as a part of developing your software. Taylort gave a link to a couple applications written for LabVIEW, but I definitely recommend you start simple and check out the LabVIEW Basics 1 & 2 provided in your LabVIEW kit like Jimmy suggested. And, if you have ANY questions about LabVIEW, come on over to the LabVIEW area on these forums and ask away!

-Danny
