How to master LabVIEW quickly and have a good command of LabVIEW

[Yamaeda]

As Nap links, the Labviewbasics is a good start, and the online Core 1-3. How fast that'll be is up to you. 🙂

After that i guess it's time to bite the bullet and basically go through the existing code and comment/rename VI's so you understand how it works. In the process you'll probably need/want to change VIs, so some code repository like github or subversion is a good idea (check in often).

If you have specific question on some VI's you're welcome to post them and the VI (not a picture). You might even post your current project in a zip if you're allowed and can get some pointers. (some will probably be harsch, but sometimes code needs tough love)

Yes. It's really a tough job if I am asked to deal with every big deal, like experiments themselves, theoretical simulations, hardware test including LabVIEW software skills. I feel overwhelmed sometimes. And I need to publish paper also. I am the only Ph.D. student in our lab on this big and critical project, so no one in my current lab can communicate with me.

I think maybe I should relax a little bit on LabView software skills. I just need to figure out how the current code works and how the code relates to the hardware setup. Still, even this, is not a small business.

Thank you so much for your comments.

Hi Bob,

Thank you so much for your message. It is inspiring. It is so great to have all those monster killed and you built your new realm. I have no experience in practical coding. I only learned C language when I was a freshman. Anyway, I am learning LabView now. I am on LabVIEW Basic1 CBT series course now, learning it everyday step by step, sometimes get stuck and repeat again. I really hope that I could optimize our current code to achieve better and more efficient experiment results. I cannot imagine again when I was working hard every time to do the most difficult experiments in our research field in the world. Maybe this is how Ph.D. is. I am in a Chemistry program.
