LabVIEW for Telecom, Semiconductor, Automotive, Sound and Vibration and General Test and Measurement National Instruments virtual instrumentation series: Amazon.co.uk: Hall T. Martin, Meg L. Martin: Books

Product Description

The purpose of this book will be to share solutions and examples in test and measurement applications across a broad range of vertical markets. The mainline vertical markets in test and measurement discussed are Telecommunications, Automotive, Semiconductor, Sound & Vibration, General Test & Measurement, and Automation. The book will consist of contributions from leading LabVIEW implementors from all over the world...With an emphasis on how-to, each contribution will focus on practical applications and problem solving, with little or no theory. The breadth of the applications will position the book as an encyclopedia of test and measurement solutions.

From the Back Cover

The complete LabVIEW solutions reference for every leading vertical market!

Dozens of practical, detailed LabVIEW applications from the world's leading implementers!
Broad coverage! Telecom, automotive, semiconductor, biomedical, and general test/measurement
Start-to-finish explanations: approach, implementation, and results.

National Instruments Virtual Instrumentation Series

Many test and measurement books focus on theory: this one focuses totally on applications. You'll find dozens of the best real-world LabVIEW applications in leading test and measurement markets, with detailed explanations of design, implementation, and results. Every application offers a unique, detailed solution to a common test/measurement challenge, with diagrams, expert advice, and hands-on problem-solving techniques from experienced LabVIEW users.

The applications encompass virtually all key markets for test and measurement, including telecom, semiconductor, automotive, biomedical, and more:

Automotive: Inverter durability testing, machine vision, exhaust simulations, and in-vehicle data acquisition
Biomedical: Cardiovascular analysis, PC-based vision systems, and patient monitoring
Semiconductor: Modeling of quantum atomic state transitions, electron beam physical vapor deposition, X-ray photolithography, and data acquisition
Telecommunications: Antenna measurement, protocol analysis, remote fiber optics diagnostics, real-time algorithm testing, and more
General test & measurement: Micromachining, nuclear fusion, and advanced industrial and military research

Whatever your application, whatever your LabVIEW experience, here are the practical insights, techniques and code you need to build world-class virtual instrumentation systems of your own.

What? They charge money for this? 18 July 2000

By Craig Dobis - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Paperback

This book is nothing but a sales promotion piece that wants you to contact National Instrument Alliance members to do this sort of work for you. They were giving this book away free of charge at a Labview seminar. There is very little useful information here. It may give you some ideas, but there are no examples or instructions on how to do any of the projects mentioned. Sorry, don't waste your money.

Simply a Collection of Brief Case Studies 17 Aug 2000

By Bob Teskey - Published on Amazon.com

If you are looking for LabVIEW code examples or techniques, then don't bother with this book.

This is simply a collection of case studies, similar to the application notes available on the National Instruments web site. There are cases using DAQ and IMAQ (vision), which are divided into chapters for automotive, biomedical, semiconductor, telecommunications and "general" testing (interestingly, the title wasn't even in the correct order). All cases have equipment lists and contact information for developer of the case. Possibly, these developers might be willing to share more information about their projects than is described in this book. Some cases have photographs of LabVIEW front panels (instrument interfaces), but I did not find any code examples or algorithms.

Overall, I would not bother with this book. Similar information can be found freely on the National Instruments web site. I have several other books in the NI Virtual Instrumentation series and all were much better.

Expensive sales brochure. 31 May 2001

By Craig Graham - Published on Amazon.com

To add to the comments above- on the back of this book it states that it includes code. This is blatantly not true- there is no code. There is no CD. There is no pointer to a URL where the code can be obtained...

The back also claims the book contains "detailled" explanations of how the problems in each case study were tackled. Bull. Calling phrases like "An algorythm was designed" detailed is working in a rather odd version of English. A beta perhaps.

Don't buy this book, it's pointless. The paper's too smooth to even employ as emergency bog roll.
