Course Outline

The LabVIEW Instrument Control course prepares you to programmatically control instruments using NI LabVIEW software. The benefits of instrument control include automated processes, time savings, and ease of use. During the course, examine real-world industry examples and learn to use Virtual Instrument Software Architecture (VISA) - a single interface to configure and control GPIB, Ethernet, serial, and VXI instruments. Also use, modify, and build a LabVIEW Plug and Play instrument driver - a set of commands contained in a modular API for an individual instrument. After you complete the course, you can quickly develop integrated, high-performance instrument control applications that produce accurate measurements.
