The hands-on format of the course enables you to quickly apply skills learned in the course to your application Duration Three Days Audience * New users and users preparing to develop applications using LabVIEW or NI Developer Suite * Users and technical managers evaluating LabVIEW or NI Developer Suite in purchasing Decisions * Users pursuing the Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer certification Prerequisites * Experience with Microsoft Windows * Experience writing algorithms in the form of flowcharts or block diagrams After attending this course, you will be able to: * Use LabVIEW to create data acquisition, analysis, and display applications * Create user interfaces with charts, graphs and buttons * Use the programming structures and data types that exist in LabVIEW * Apply basic design templates and architectures for your applications * Use various editing and debugging techniques
Basics II	Overview The LabVIEW Basics II course teaches you to design complete, stand-alone applications with LabVIEW. This course is an extension of the LabVIEW Basics I course and introduces you to common design techniques for successfully implementing and distributing LabVIEW applications for research, engineering, and testing environments. Topics covered include techniques for optimizing application performance including how to optimize reuse of existing code, use of advanced file I/O functions, data management principles, and error handling practices. This course directly links LabVIEW functionality to your application needs and provides a jump-start for application development Duration Two Days Audience * New LabVIEW or NI Developer Suite users and users preparing to develop applications * LabVIEW Basics I course attendees * Users and technical managers evaluating LabVIEW or NI Developer Suite in purchasing decisions * Users pursuing the Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer certification Prerequisites * Experience with Microsoft Windows * LabVIEW Basics I: Introduction course or equivalent experience After attending this course, you will be able to: * Design, implement, and distribute stand-alone applications using LabVIEW * Apply single and multiple loop design patterns for application functionality * Implement event-driven programming * Create applications that have a professional look and feel * Programmatically control user interface objects * Apply data management techniques in your application design * Optimize reuse of existing code for your projects * Use the LabVIEW Application Builder to create executables and installers to distribute applications
Intermediate I	Overview While the Basics courses introduce you to the LabVIEW environment and application development, the hands-on LabVIEW Intermediate I course teaches you structured practices to design, develop, test, and deploy LabVIEW applications. You learn recommended application development techniques such as hierarchical VI development, event-based architectures, appropriate user interface design, error handling strategies and effective documentation. After attending the course, you are able to analyze your application requirements, choose the correct design pattern and data structures for your application, and quickly test and deploy your design – reducing development time and improving application performance and scalability. By incorporating these design practices early in your development, you avoid unnecessary application redesign, increase VI reuse and minimize maintenance costs.
