From the Back Cover

The #1 hands-on LabVIEW guide to virtual instrumentation!

Sensors, Transducers and LabVIEW teaches LabVIEW virtual instrumentation the best way possible: hands-on. You'll encounter a world of fascinating, practical interfacing challenges from physics, chemistry, mathematics, engineering, the biomedical sciences and beyond. Through these applications, you'll discover the LabVIEW environment, programming structures, constants, variables, controls, indicators, arrays, pseudo-random numbers and other key elements of LabVIEW programming. LabVIEW expert Barry Paton covers all this and more:

• 100% hands-on!
• Real-world engineering, scientific and biomedical applications
• Sensor applications, including platinum resistance thermometers; integrated silicon pressure sensors, ultrasonic ranging
• Transducer applications, including stepping motors, virtual joysticks, LED displays, and pan/tilt controllers
• Serial, parallel, IEEE 488(GPIB) and IR communications
• Video surveillance, data acquisition and electronic compasses
• Gaussmeters and Hall effect sensors
• Beer's Law experiment - design, protocols and calibration procedures

Sensors, Transducers and LabVIEW is a book of solutions, packed with intriguing devices, circuits, and exercises. Whether you're an engineer, scientist, faculty member, or student, there's no faster, more exciting way to leverage LabVIEW's power in your next interfacing application.

CD-ROM includes LabVIEW 5.0 Evaluation Edition; 10 MB of valuable programming examples compatible with LabVIEW 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0; exercises, sensor simulations, course development templates, video clips of experiments and more.
