Description
9642C-9 Put LabVIEW to work with solutions tailored to your specific field. LabVIEW brings the power and flexibility of graphical data-flow programming to virtually every technical subject. This robust, elegant language is used in communications, mathematics, statistics, and commercial data processing, as well as engineering. Once you have learned the basics of LabVIEW, you can master the nuances and fine tune your skills to create the customized tools you've been looking for. It's perfect for measurement, simulation, automation, and analysis of all types of data. LabVIEW Applications and Solutions gives you the expertise to develop your own virtual instruments, starting with a review of the theoretical foundations, illustrating each function with copious practical examples, and introducing LabVIEW 5.0 features. Among the specific applications are: *Process visualization and control, including automation and fuzzy logic. *Testing and measurement for quality management. *Fourier transforms. *Communications and networking issues. *Mathematics. LabVIEW's newest capabilities are covered in depth, including: *Image processing. *Digital filter design. *Control and simulation.*
BioBench and other medical applications. LabVIEW Applications and Solutions is a great textbook or reference for working engineers, professors, and students. Managers and decision-makers will also love the way it explains how to put LabVIEW to work in your own organization. It's the perfect follow-up to Lisa Wells and Jeff Travis' LabVIEW for Everyone, the classic introductory text published by Prentice Hall PTR. A free evaluation copy of LabVIEW 5.0 for Windows and Macintosh is included on CD-ROM to let you get right to work developing your own hands-on solutions. THIS BOOK IS PART OF THE NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS AND PRENTICE HALL PTR'S VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTATION SERIES.
