Rosetta Stone

Here is how to initialize a variable in LabVIEW. A string constant is wired to a string indicator, so that when the program is run, the string is displayed to the user. This is similar in effect to the print() function in python.

Math in LabVIEW is straighforward as well. In this example, a value represented by a slider is fed into an addition block and multiplication block. An indicator in the style of a thermometer is used to output the result.

SubVI's work a lot like functions. They are self contained sections of code that allow your main code to look cleaner. In this example, we've taken the math section of the thermometer conversion and turned it into a SubVI.

Shift registers allow for values to be stored throughout various iterations of a loop.

Labview is quite intuitive to use with arrays. Python, on the other hand, requires
