Oxford University Press USA</br></br>Product Description</br></br><i>Hands-On Introduction to LabVIEW for Scientists and Engineers??</i> Third Edition?? explores practical programming solutions for carrying out interesting and relevant projects. Readers--who are assumed to have no prior computer programming or LabVIEW background--will begin writing meaningful programs in the first few pages.              <div></div><div> <br><b>Improvements to the Third Edition: </b>This new edition includes the following improvements:<br> * All chapters are fully updated to the latest version of LabVIEW. DAQ hardware now commonly used in instructional laboratories and self-learning is highlighted.<br> <br>* For easy reference?? seven chapters begin with a "ics" section that explains the fundamental operation of the LabVIEW function covered in that chapter [Chapters 2?? 3?? 4?? 7?? 8?? 9?? 12].<br> <br>* A new first chapter offers focused introduction" LabVIEW programming environment. Readers construct a simple program to detect whether a given integer is even or odd [Chapter 1].?<br><span></span><br><span>* Coverage </span>of LabVIEW's text-based functions is given for both the MathScript Node and Formula Node [Chapter 4 and Appendix A].<br> <br>* Shift register usage is illustrated through a signal-averaging program (replacing the numerical integration and differentiation programs used in previous editions) [Chapter 7].<br> <br>* State machine program architecture is now taught in the case structure chapter (replacing the numerical integration program used in previous editions). Readers construct a state-machine guessing game and a digital oscilloscope with runtim
