The LabVIEW Core 1 course is a three-day classroom course that introduces new users and evaluators to the LabVIEW environment and dataflow programming. The course prepares students to develop test and measurement, data acquisition, instrument control, and analysis applications using LabVIEW. By the end of the course, students will be able to create applications that acquire, process, display, and store real-world data using a state machine design pattern. The hands-on format enables students to quickly apply the skills learned to their own applications.
