An introduction to the LabVIEW graphical programming language for monitoring and controlling physical phenomena with a computer via electrical signals. These electrical signals are usually attached to scientific or industrial equipment by means of transducers that convert physical values like pressure, temperature, position, and flow rate. Mihura, who worked as a LabVIEW developer for National Instruments, addresses simulation techniques, debugging, real-time issues, and networked and distributed systems. The CD-ROM contains an evaluation version of LabVIEW 6i for Windows. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
