This is the Safari online edition of the printed book.

The practical, succinct LabVIEW data acquisition tutorial for every professional.

No matter how much LabVIEW experience you have, this compact tutorial gives you core skills for producing virtually any data acquisition (DAQ) application-input and output. Designed for every engineer and scientist, LabVIEW for Data Acquisition begins with quick-start primers on both LabVIEW and DAQ, and builds your skills with extensive code examples and visual explanations drawn from Bruce Mihura's extensive experience teaching LabVIEW to professionals.

• Includes extensive coverage of DAQ-specific programming techniques

• Real-world techniques for maximizing accuracy and efficiency

• The 10 most common LabVIEW DAQ development problems-with specific solutions

• Addresses simulation, debugging, real-time issues, and network/distributed systems

• Preventing unauthorized changes to your LabVIEW code

• An overview of transducers for a wide variety of signals

• Non-NI alternatives for hardware and software

LabVIEW for Data Acquisition includes an extensive collection of real-world LabVIEW applications, lists of LabVIEW tips and tricks, coverage of non-NI software and hardware alternatives, and much more. Whatever data acquisition application you need to create, this is the book to start and finish with.

Good place to start with NI DAQ - 2007-11-17
Reviewer Rating:
I am designing a system to take measurements from various transducers (force, load, displacement) through an SCB-68 I/O connector block with a PCI 6014 DAQ card, for a custom mechanical testing device for biological tissues. This book has been an excellent introduction to basic concepts of DAQ using LabVIEW software. Mihura gives a brief introduction to LabVIEW, and it should be sufficient, along with the Help menu, even if you are fairly new to the software but have some programming experience. There is, of course, differences between the device he uses and mine, and the version of LabVIEW is dated, but he still does an excellent job of describing the concepts. However, don't buy this book unless you have LabVIEW and some data acquisition hardware already - I don't believe it will help you in deciding what to buy.

Does a good job of opening up DAQ and has a helpful intro to Labview programming in the first chapter.
