LabVIEW Programming for Research Applications

LabVIEW is a graphical programming platform used in engineering and scientific applications. It is a powerful tool for real time data visualization through custom made virtual instruments. This is an introductory course on LabVIEW programming. In this course, students will learn the fundamentals of virtual instrumentation, core programming structures, data handling, modular design, signal processing, and file I/O operations. No prior programming experience is required, making it ideal for beginners in instrument development, automation, data acquisition, and control systems.
