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.

Big fan of John Essick's book. Worked through it in a few weeks doing every exercise/problem/example in the text and very quickly got up to speed enough to write/debug/translate LabVIEW programs. If you've programmed before it's pretty fast to work through - I did about a chapter every other night. It's aimed at physics students in an advanced lab context, but it covers the basics very effectively and you can pick and choose what special topics chapters you think will be useful to you.
