Figure 1 Has Two Controls: Number of Measurements and Delay (Sec) - It Has One Indicator: An

This document introduces LabVIEW and its basic concepts. LabVIEW programs are called virtual instruments (VIs) because they resemble physical instruments. Every VI has a front panel that acts as a user interface with controls to supply input and indicators to display output. Controls simulate instrument inputs like buttons and dials, while indicators simulate outputs like graphs and LEDs to display data generated by the block diagram. An example VI is shown with controls for number of measurements and delay, and an indicator graph to output temperature data.

Welcome to LabVIEW.

The purpose of this manual is to get you up to speed with the basic
concepts of LabVIEW and graphical programming.
LabVIEW programs are called virtual instruments, or VIs, because their appearance and
operation often imitate physical instruments, such as oscilloscopes and multimeters. LabVIEW

Every VI has a front panel that you can design as a user interface. You also can use front
panels as a way to pass inputs and receive outputs when you call the VI from another block
diagram. You create the user interface of a VI by placing controls and indicators on the front
panel of a VI. When you interact with a front panel as a user interface, you can modify controls
to supply inputs and see the results in indicators. Controls define inputs, and indicators display
outputs.
Controls are typically knobs, push buttons, dials, sliders, and strings. They simulate instrument
input devices and supply data to the block diagram of the VI. Indicators are typically graphs,
charts, LEDs, and status strings. Indicators simulate instrument output devices and display data
the block diagram acquires or generates.
Figure 1 has two controls: Number of Measurements and Delay (sec). It has one indicator: an
XY graph named Temperature Graph.
The user can change the input value for the Number of Measurements and Delay (sec) controls.
The user can see the value generated by the VI on the Temperature Graph indicator. The VI
generates the
