Computer controlled measurements are measurements taken under control of a computer program.  Here we are concerned about taking those measurements in LabVIEW.

• Why learn about using LabVIEW for computer controlled measurements?
• LabVIEW is probably the most widely used program for computer controlled measurements.  It's not just used by Electrical Engineers.  Engineeers of all sorts have learned to use LabVIEW and the learning curve doesn't seem to be that hard.  LabVIEW is a visual environment that gives you a fairly decent GUI without much work.  With a little work, you can make a very nice looking application.
• What should you know to learn about computer controlled measurements in LabVIEW?
• You might think that you need to know how to program.  Actually, you need to know about basic instrumentation, something about data formats (bytes, characters, integers and floating point numbers), and a little bit about data files.
• What do you need to learn about computer controlled measurements in LabVIEW?
• You need to learn how to control instruments, store your data in files, and you need to learn how to construct the interfaces.
• How do you use computer controlled measurements in LabVIEW?
• LabVIEW applications can be used for measurement and control in many areas.  It is possible to develop LabVIEW applications and put them into dedicated controllers.
• What if you need more information?
• National Instruments makes LabVIEW and maintains a very helpful website.
