2 Days Workshop on LabView (Virtual Instrumentation)

LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) is a platform and development environment for a visual programming language, "G", from National Instruments. LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of platforms including Windows, UNIX, Linux, and Mac OS X.

It would be a useful workshop for electronics, electrical, computer and IT professionals, students and faculty members who want to develop, simulate and test the digital and analog systems. The course is heavily Lab oriented in which participants will get hands-on-experience. Consequently it gives an opportunity for a person to improve his/her skill keeping in view of the practical nature of the course. The resource person of this course has true practical hands-on experience of system Designing industry.

Workshop Duration: 2 days (16 hrs.)

The duration of this workshop will be two consecutive days with eight hours session each day, in a total of sixteen hours properly divided into theory and hand on practical sessions. At the end of this workshop a competition will be organized among the participating students where each participating student will get Certificate of Participation and the Winners will get Certificate of Merit.
