DESICOLAB
Certificate Course in LabVIEW Based Virtual Instruments with DAQ (myDAQ, myRIO)
Duration
40 Hours
About the Course
LabVIEW: LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) created by National Instruments (NI) is a graphical programming language that uses icons instead of lines of text to create applications. LabVIEW programs/codes are called Virtual Instruments, or VIs in short.
Students will explore the LabVIEW environment and interactive analysis, dataflow programming, and common development techniques in a hands-on format. In this course, they learn how to develop data acquisition, instrument control, data-logging, and measurement analysis applications.
