Last October I gave a presentation to some colleagues how to get started in
LabVIEW programming. Here is some information from that presentation on
books that I have:
LabVIEW for Everyone
- Prentice Hall
- ISBN 0-13-268194-3
- Very good for starting out with LabVIEW
- Includes a CD-ROM
- Version 4.0 of LabVIEW(as of 10-99 version 5.1 is current)
Learning with LabVIEW
- Addison-Wesley
- ISBN 0-201-36166-3
- Excellent beginner's book
- VIs are located at the Addison-Wesley Website
- Version 5.0
Sensors, Transducers, and LabVIEW
- Prentice Hall
- ISBN 0-13-081155-6
- Methods for interfacing to real-world sensors
- Easy to medium level
- Includes a CD-ROM
- Version 5.0
LabVIEW Applications and Solutions
- Prentice Hall
- ISBN 0-13-096423-9
- Theory-based
- Discu
ssions on mathematical topics & LabVIEW
- Advanced level
- Includes a CD-ROM
- Version 5.0
LabVIEW Power Programming
- McGraw-Hill
- ISBN 0-07-913666-4
- Theory-based

The first two are both good books for a beginner. Note that "LabVIEW for
Everyone" included a CD based on version 4. You may want to check and see
if they have updated to version 5 before you buy it. Even being based on
version 4, l found it to be a very good book. The "Learning with LabVIEW"
book does not include a CD, but it's example programs can be found on their
ftp site at ftp://ftp.awl.com/cseng/authors/bishop/labview/
