The LabVIEW Core 1 course is available in a self-paced online format.

LabVIEW Core 1 Training Course

by National Instruments

The first step in any NI LabVIEW learning path, LabVIEW Core 1 gives you the chance to explore the LabVIEW environment, dataflow programming, and common LabVIEW development techniques in a hands-on format. In this course you will learn to develop data acquisition, instrument control, data-logging, and measurement analysis applications. At the end of the course, you will be able to create applications using the state machine design pattern to acquire, process, display, and store real-world data.

NAVIGATING LABVIEW

This lesson introduces the LabVIEW environment - including windows, menus, and tools, creating and using LabVIEW projects, LabVIEW front panel and block diagram, and searching for controls, VIs, and functions.

CREATING YOUR FIRST APPLICATION

This lesson teaches you how to build a simple LabVIEW application that acquires analyzes and presents data.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND DEBUGGING VIS

This lesson teaches various debugging and error-checking techniques in LabVIEW. You will learn to identify problems with block diagram organization or with data passing within a block diagram.

USING LOOPS

This lesson presents the different ways that you can iteratively execute LabVIEW code and techniques for managing loop execution.

CREATING AND LEVERAGING STRUCTURES

This lesson introduces data types that combine related data into a single structure for improved data access and analysis.

USING DECISION-MAKING STRUCTURES

This lesson presents LabVIEW structures that you can use to implement decision-making algorithms in your applications

MODULARITY (SUBVIS)

This lesson introduces modular programming in LabVIEW. In LabVIEW, VIs used within other VIs are called subVIs. You will learn how to build the icon and connector pane of a VI so that it can be used as a subVI

ACQUIRING MEASUREMENTS WITH HARDWARE

This lesson describes the differences between NI DAQ systems and instrument control and how LabVIEW connects to hardware to get real-world measurements

ACCESSING FILES IN LABVIEW

This lesson describes the basic concept of file I/O and teaches how to access and modify file resources in LabVIEW

USING SEQUENTIAL AND STATE MACHINE PROGRAMMING

This lesson introduces common LabVIEW design techniques and the state machine design pattern.
