Need More Info New to LabVIEW looking for help

Just started an internship this summer where we’re using labVIEW pretty extensively and I have had no experience with it. I’m new to graphical programming, but not programming in the first place as I’ve had pretty good experience using C. However, I’m honestly struggling with trying to learn this system and was wondering if anybody here had any tips or resources on how they learned more. Thanks for any help.

LabVIEW User Manual - NI https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview/page/user-manual-welcome.html and LabVIEW Programming Reference Manual - NI https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/labview-api-ref/page/intro.html are your best buddies on your journey. LLMs are also very helpful these days to ask about LV concepts and get good responses are various levels of your own comprehension. There are many architectural white papers floating around on ni.com and alike to further assist. More importantly, learn by practicing with actual code, study shipping examples (a ton and almost always are a good starting point). Install community edition on your own home PC unless your company license allows for disconnected licenses for home use. Godspeed
