labVIEW Books

[Ruud van Leeuwen]

Hello there,

I would like to buy a book on labview, but I'm hesitating between
LabVIEW for Everyone by Jeffrey Travis and LabVIEW Graphical Programming
by Gary W. Johnson. Could anyone of you guys help me out?
I need labview for communicating with a DAQ-board, a framegrabber and
GPIB

Thanks in advance,

Ruud

Hi Ruud,
I am not sure that I can give you a fair detailed description for both, but 2 suggestions:
- check amazon.com or something similar to access some well done reviews and SAMPLE PAGES [http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/007032915X/103-7421168-5247813]. Having more than 1 review it's easier to choose.
- regarding DAQ and GPIB, Labview related manuals from NI are a good start (IMHO) - check your Labview CD or online because some are not available on paper.

Hope this helps
p.s.: if you accept a choice without explanation, Labview Graphical Programming is the one

I recommend:
LabView Advanced Programming Techniques
Bitter et al
0-8493-2049-6
It covers general techniques for writing *good* code, has plenty of examples, and covers advanced topics like GPIB, VISA, hooking into .dll's, etc.
