Description
Separated into two parts, this tutorial teaches test and measurement programmers the fundamentals of HP VEE in a self-paced format. Part I can be learned in a single day, spending only two hours on each chapter. Part II is task-oriented, so the programmer can go directly to the chapters that suit their applications. To aid in the instruction of HP VEE, guided examples and examples that challenge the readers to solve problems on their own are included.
