Labview Books for 8.5

Proven Active Veterans,
Does anyone know of a good current book that is based on Labview 8.5 which goes into advance and intermediate LabVIEW topics?
Regards,
SS

I am not a PAV but I'll add my 2 cents.
I like "LabVIEW for Everyone" third edition is the most up to date text but does not cover LV 8.5.
But if you handle everything in that book, then the release notes and a couple of posting to the forums should fill in the gaps.

Best/Worst Labview Book for Beginner/Advanced/Good Reference

I saw a few other posts like this one but they were not very informative.
I thought I'd start this thread so everyone can voice thier opinion on what the best/worst Labview Reference is so that beginners (like me) and people just seeking information can know what to, and more importantly what NOT to buy.
List the good/bad points about the book like:
Does it teach good coding style?
Is it a good reference when you are done reading it?
How are the examples in it?
Is it easy to understand?
Things of that nature...
Again I'm sorry for kind of reposting this question but like I said, the other posts just give a list of LV books and not any information about them, not even if they are worth reading. It just looked like a listing from a search on Amazon.

LabView 7.1, Windows XP

Some other users recommended recently the book "LABVIEW Graphical Programming -- Practical Applications in Instrumentation and Control" by Gary W. Johnson. I haven't read it myself. This site has a big knowledgebase with many tutorials and examples, many of them many good, but they are usually topic specific and do not work as a course.
You should try to reread the manual in a few months. After you have gained some experience it is much easier to read and you will find it has some very interesting stuff.
As a side point, most people on this site do not get paid for doing this. Only those with blue names are from NI. The rest of us do this as a personal basis for several reasons: We like to help people, there are some very interesting things which can be learned from being around here and it's usually just plain fun (try looking at the BreakPoint. If you appreciate it, why not come back when you have more experience and help others?

LabVIEW Book for advanced users? German or english

Hello,
I am searching for a book about LabVIEW (ideally 7.1. but later versions are also ok) for advanced users.
All the books I find on amazon are introductions for beginers.
I have done the LabVIEW Tutorial and I am programming since a couple of years, so my level ist something like beginer II or intermediate I (compared to LabVIEW classes).
Now I would like to improve my programing style and learn something about different VI architectures, professional design, performance optimizing, etc.
Are there any good books in english or german?

Printed books for LabView / TestStand

Hello,
can someone suggest any books for a complete beginner in
a.) LabView and
b.) TestStand
(I mean a separate book for each product.)
Is there something that i can buy in normal bookshops or is there a online-shop of NI?
Or are there no books to buy, only online-help?
Thanks for all tips.

Regarding TestStand, there is indeed not much material besides the NI training classes and documentation files.
I find the following source very useful, but it requires a basic knowledge already:
TestStand Advanced Technical Series.
hope this helps,
Norbert
PS: This series is now about 5 years old, so some information might not be accurate regarding the newest TS version.
CEO: What exactly is stopping us from doing this?
Expert: Geometry
Marketing Manager: Just ignore it.

Anyone interested in working on a LabVIEW book with me?

Hello
Several months back I began working on a LabVIEW training manual and
after becoming busy with other things, progress has stalled out. I am about
70 pages into it.
Here is what I have so far.
Chapter 1 - Introduction (could probably use a little more work)
Chapter 2 - Number Types
Chapter 3 - Strings
Chapter 4 - Booleans
Chapter 5 - Arrays
Chapter 6 - Structures (about 75% done)
Chapter 7 - File I/O (havnt started)
I envisioned this much as an introductory manual for someone who has never
used LabVIEW before. I have my own business in which one of the things I
had hoped to offer was LabVIEW training and thought that it would be more
cost effective if I could produce my own training manual than have potential
students buy a 3rd party book.
I'm not sure what to do now with what I have but these are my ideas.
1) Finish and polish what I have outlined above myself and see if I can sell
individual copies. I think that this would be appropriate for college
courses
using LabVIEW with a need to quickly teach LabVIEW newbies enough
to create vis for small experiments. Perhaps tailoring custom chapters to
show
how to use the classes particular hardware.
2) Find one or two people interested in working with me to make something
considerably more substantial, getting into advanced programming concepts
and
hardware programming concepts. This would continue to be a commercial
project.
3) Turn what I have so far into an open project. Divvy up the chapters and
subchapters
to individuals to really hammer out into something nice. This has a lot of
appeal for
a lot of reasons. I dont think it would be too difficult with the effort of
10-15 people
working a couple hours a week to produce a free document that is better than
all
the books currently on the market.
What do you say? Anyone interested in working on this project with me? I
think it
would be a great service to the community.
Send me e-mail or respond to this thread so I can get an idea of the level
of interest.
Make sure you let me know your LabVIEW background and what sections you
would be interested in working on. Suggestions for future chapters are
welcome, too.

I'm willing. 5 years experience doing GPIB and card-based DAQ along with
playing with niceties like ActiveX, both for external app control and to
expand the available selection of front panel controls. Reasonable amount of
time at the moment though I'm looking for a new job [anyone hiring? ] so
that may change.
A commercial book that gets published is better on the CV than a free one so
I favour working towards the former and doing it as a comprehensive work
that goes into depth. But at the order of 1k pages it's a formidable task.
Publication indicates a publisher thinks it's worthwhile; producing a free
book is an indication only of lots of free time to most people

ActiveX could be the basis of two chapters- "how/why to do it" and a
reference to the common apps and controls. The latter however is essentially
a reference to a load of M$ products and M$ may protest. There's a
continuous trickle of ActiveX messages online so it's probably worthwhile.
One problem is, is there actually a need for another Labview book? You've
started this simply as a tutorial handout to make the cost of your course
appear less. Personally I've not read all of the supplied documentation and
have not bought any Labview books. Aside from the crap "case study" thing NI
produce. There's a few out there already, and I'd need to be convinced the
project is worthwhile before pitching in!

Could you guys recommend some books for me?

I have been using Labview for about one year. Just do some simple
programming, and learned Labview just from the examples Labview
includes. But I want to learn more and improve my skills, so could you
guys please recommend some good books talking about Labview prgramming
for me? thanks a lot!

i purchased 2 books for my iPad and they downloaded successfully. They show up in iTunes when my iPad is connected to my Mac but do not show up on the Mac. Is this a synch issue? When I click the Synch box I am warned that downloads on my iPad will be erased. Is that true? My ultimate goad is to be able to read the books on my iPhone as well. Thanks.

You should be able to copy them to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases and you can then sync them to the iPhone (or you could re-download them directly on the iPhone)

Adaptation of LIFA (LabVIEW Interface For Arduino) to other Arduino compatible boards

Hello evryone,
I am trying to use a ''Sakura board", which is an Arduino compatible board, having similar programming as Arduino. This board is manufactured by Renesas; more specifications on it can be found on the following link: http://sakuraboard.net/gr-sakura_en.html
What I would like to know, is if the firmware used for LIFA to interface Arduino with labview, or the ChipKit firmaware, can be used to this kind of Arduino compatible boards.
My aim, is to use the Sakura Board for acquiring signals from various pins(Be it digital or analog), and setting other pins (Digital) parralelly, using labVIEW, as this is done using LIFA, or LabVIEW interface for ChiKit!!
Thanks in advance for your support.

I haven't had any experience with the Sakura board, so can only go on the information on the website.
I've used the Arduino LabVIEW interface previously, and it basically uses serial communications between the PC and the Arduino. This serial interface is provided by the on-board USB-serial converter (an ATMega8u2 running custom firmware).
From what I can tell about the Sakura, it appears as a storage device when plugging into a PC, and doesn't seem to have a USB to serial converter. If this is the case, then the LIFA toolkit won't work. That said, my understanding of the Sakura board may be incorrect (for example I'm unsure what operation modes the slide switch changes between). If you can confirm it has a USB-serial port then LIFA may work. I guess the key thing is that the serial port is required.
You may be able to use a software serial port (http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/SoftwareSerial) on the Sakura to communicate with a PC, though that would require a PC with a serial port, or an external USB-serial converter. This approach would also require you to modify the LIFA arduino code (located in vi.lib\LabVIEW Interface for Arduino\Firmware\LIFA_Base) to reference the software serial port. It's probably a long shot that this will work, as the software serial library has been written for AVR chips, making use of their specific internal timers.

Separate address book for my wife and I

I reently switched to Mac and this is driving me crazy. I would like to keep our computer under one user so we don't have to switch user profiles to access her address book or if I update and address in my book, it doesn't get updated in hers. But, when I go to address e-mails I don't want her huge list of names being auto-suggested and me having to sift through all of her addresses in order to find the people I want to address the email to. The question: Is there a way to keep all of our addresses in one address book (one user profile), but when I am logged into my mail, Mail knows to only look in MY address group for the email addresses I specify, instead of pulling up my wife's rediculous sized (and often unorganized) bunch of addresses. I don't want to accidentally slip up with the arrow keys and add one of her recipients to an outgoing email. Sometimes my wife's friends wouldn't appreciate emails that guys send to each other if you know what I mean...
Thanks for any help...and please tell me there is a way to separate my wifes email address book from mine...please tell me Mac thought of this.
PS I've tried the whole 2 user profiles thing and the idea of seperate address books for updating sake and other reasons, I'd like to try the single profile thing.

I thought Mac would be better with their mail client than this.
But Mail has nothing to do with this at all. Address Book is a completely separate application, and it's that way for good reason; it's not merely a whim.
I can't imagine what Mac is thinking that if a family of 5 uses the family computer, that all 5 people's email addresses clog up the search for the person writing the email at the time.
Each user has a separate Address Book (and other applications like Mail and Safari) to keep that exact scenario from happening, as well as to keep people out of each other's accounts so things don't go missing, private emails aren't being read by overly curious people, and so your account doesn't get screwed up by someone else playing with things they shouldn't be touching.
Are there any third party apps or plugins I can download in order to tell Mail that when I am in my account to only search for the contacts in a certain group that I create?
Sorry, but there's no such things available. It would be impossible for your Mac to become sentient and know what you created versus someone else creating.

Can you use a Sony gift card to purchase books for my Ipad2?

I have a Sony ebookstore store gift card ... Am I able to purchase books for my Ipad2 using this gift card?

Only of Sony offers e-books in a format some app on the iPad can read. You'll need to check with Sony, or search the iTunes Store, to see if such an app exists. You cannot use the Sony gift card in the iTunes Store, nor read any Sony e-books in the iBooks app.

Is there any way to create a book for ibookstore in windows pc?

Yes, you create in the .epub format with whatever Windows app you want to use for that and then use an Aggregator like SmashWords to upload the book to the iBookstore. Direct upload is only possible from OS X.

Error message when uploading book for printing. All images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large to upload? What size is required and how do I reduce size in Aperture?

I receive an error message when I upload my book for printing. Not sure what the problem is. All my images are jpg and rgb. Could they be too large as it takes about 15minutes to upload to Apple. How do I reduce the size of the image in Aperture?

Hi Leonie,
Thanks for your reply.
Error message below. The preview is fine . I can discount the first 2messages as its a new computer so plenty of disk space and upload doesn't seem to be interrupted. I have uploaded to iphoto before. have tried to upload 3times with the same error message. I had to photo my slides with a Kaiser Baas photo maker , which apparently doesn't scan but takes photos in megapixels of the slides. I am wondering now if the format is incompatible though they are jpg files or the colour type wrong. The image files are around 1-3 mb each and 72 ppi. I think I will now scan them properly with a scanner to 300dpi anyway to improve quality.
Apple talks about image files not being too big for uploading but gives no sizing of what too big is?
Error message
1. Upload Error. Loss of connection or file corruption during order upload may cause an incomplete order. Resubmitting your order usually resolves this issue.
2. Low Disk Space. If your computer is running on low disk space, your files may be assembled incorrectly. Create more space by deleting unused files.
3. Unreadable PDF file or image files. Files are sometimes assembled incorrectly due to CMYK or Grayscale color space. Use the RGB color space for best results.

What's a good book for getting started?

I've been doing web design in HTML and ColdFusion for almost 3 years. It's clear that ColdFusion is on it's way out and I need to learn J2EE/Java/JSP etc. I have a few questions:
Java is a term I've heard associated with C++ and other types of programming as well as Web design. Are the Java/C++ Java and the Web Java basically the same type of language? Is the Web Java and JavaScript the same thing? I'm very confused!
What is a good book for getting these types of questions answered and getting started in J2EE/Java/JSP? There are quite a few variations of script languages out there and I want to make sure I learn the right stuff, ie the stuff that employers are going to be needing.
Thanks!

Here is a free online version of a good book:
http://pdf.coreservlets.com/Core-Servlets-and-JSP.pdf
Print it off or read from the screen. Otherwise, there are several good Java books out there. What I would do is go to the bookstore and thumb through a few books. Depending on what type of book you want (example based or theory) find the books that you think would satisfy your learning style. Write down the names and authors, go home and buy them used online at Amazon for tremendous discounts. This way you can buy several versus just one.
