Overview

“LabVIEW for Measurement and Automation” is designed for roles such as Design engineers, technical drafters and development engineers and Architects, building draftspeople, MEP planners and civil engineers. In 6 hours you work your way through Front panel and block diagram, Dataflow programming and Data acquisition with DAQ in a structured way – with plenty of practice and time for your questions.

In design engineering, architecture, electrical engineering and development, tool competence and clean working methods determine quality and lead time. Our courses teach LabVIEW for Measurement and Automation not as a list of commands but along real tasks: modeling parts, deriving assemblies and drawings, structuring plans, computing models or evaluating measurement data. You learn standards and conventions, parametric and data-driven approaches and strategies for catching errors early. Exercise files, templates and checklists support the transfer to your company. Delivered online or on site, at a fixed price per participant.

The course is delivered live – either online in a virtual classroom or on-site in our training rooms in Munich, Salzburg, Berlin, Augsburg, Hanover, Bremen, Stuttgart and Kaiserslautern. We can also run it exclusively for your team.
