The NI LabVIEW Core 1 course is the first step in any LabVIEW learning path. LabVIEW Core 1 introduces you to the LabVIEW environment, its features, dataflow programming, and common LabVIEW architectures in a hands-on format. Learn to develop test and measurement, data acquisition, instrument control, data-logging, and measurement analysis applications.

At the end of LabVIEW Core 1, you will be able to create applications using basic design templates and architectures to acquire, process, display, and store real-world data.

This class is available as an instructor-led course in three flexible formats:

Classroom Training in Your Area
This three-day classroom course is regularly scheduled at one of the fully equipped NI training facilities. You have the opportunity to interact with a certified instructor and discuss ideas and problems with your peers and colleagues.

Online Training
The online course is taught in half-day sessions over a four-day period. If time demands make it difficult to attend a classroom course, you may take the instructor-led online course using NI virtual classroom technology. You receive the same material used in the classroom course, and you have access to hardware for hands-on exercises using the NI virtual laboratory.

On-Site at Your Facility
On-site training is a cost-effective solution for training a group of people at your company’s location. It not only eliminates travel and hotel expenses but also gives you the opportunity to modify the course for your company’s specific needs. A dedicated customer education specialist works with your organization to ensure a productive and smooth learning experience.
