LabWindows/CVI is for C programmers. In LabWindows/CVI, C is the programming language used to build data acquisition and instrumentation control applications; LabWindows/CVI is completely compatible with the most common C/C++ compilers available under Windows 95/NT.
The first available interactive tutorial on LabWindows/CVI, this book provides beginners with a welcome alternative to the very detailed—and intimidating—National Instruments manuals. Arranged in a systematic way to teach a novice from simple to complex topics, it begins at the beginning and includes a CD with examples and code so students can start running project applications immediately.
SHAHID F. KHALID has over 30 years of experience in software engineering. He is presently a software engineer at Boeing, Canoga Park, California, where he works on testing the embedded software for the rocket engine control unit on the Delta IV program. The testing of the rocket engine controller is performed using LabWindows/CVI communicating via the RS-232 serial port and the GPIB interface to control various instruments that command the engine and acquire the data. He has also created LabWindows/CVI applications for laser beam alignment, test equipment diagnostics software for VXI platforms, and database applications and has worked on other company proprietary projects. Shahid has worked as a software contractor in aerospace and defense with companies like GTE Government Systems and Loral Electro-Optical Systems. He has worked at Logicon Incorporated, and at Jet Propulsion Laboratories in Pasadena, California. He has been a Unit Head of a software development team at Singer-Kearfott in New Jersey, where he was involved with the development of inertial navigation guidance test software for the US Navy Mark VI program. He has worked as an analog circuit design engineer and computer programmer at various companies in Kansas, Tennessee, and New Jersey. Shahid has a Bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics as well as a Master's degree in Mathematics from Panjab University in Pakistan. He also has a Master's Degree in Electronic Engineering from Kansas University and a Master's Degree in Computer Science from Stevens Institute of Technology (New Jersey). He is married and has two daughters and a son. After living in Kansas, Tennessee, and New Jersey, he now enjoys his home in Agoura Hills, California. His hobbies include photography, traveling, swimming, reading self-study books on computers and programming languages, and playing with the computer.
