Description
Engineering and Physics laboratory courses are meant to bridge the gap between theory and real-world application. In this respect, LabVIEW stands out as a powerful graphical programming platform to design and automate the systems for practical applications. This book is written with the goal of guiding students and practitioners through the multifaceted world of LabVIEW. In the first part of the book, we begin with the basics: understanding the environment, navigating the interface, and creating simple Virtual Instruments (VIs). From there, we explore data flow programming, advanced controls, hardware integration, signal processing, and automation techniques. In the second part of the book, case studies and examples based on semiconductor devices are proposed with dual intent to make the students apply the acquired knowledge of LabView and to understand physics and the applications of practical electronic devices. Each lab class begins with clear learning objectives and ends with tasks and practical problems that reinforce key concepts.
