Do I need to know how to build circuits in order to test and modify sensors in LabVIEW?

Hello,

 

forgive me if this question has already been answered multiple times. I am new to LabVIEW and also new to electonic circuits. I have a friend of mine that has invited me to participate in some sensor testing this summer with LabVIEW. He also knows that I have never used LabVIEW. I have never really built circuits besides what would be considered very basic in nature. I see that LabVIEW has a graphical type system that looks that it represents the symbols and functionality of electrical circuits. Does that mean that I need to first know how to build circuits to even be able to use LabVIEW at all? I basically have about two months before I am supposed to start working with LabVIEW. I am trying to get a head start so I don't show up there looking clueless.

Nope.

 

See this link and the other links in the side bar of the forum for an intro to LabVIEW.  The wires are metaphorical.

Jake,

 

http://www.learnni.com/ and http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5241/en/ are other great ways to get started.

 

If you are concerned , go and talk to whoever you will be working for. Just be honest and tell them what you know and what you don't know and ask them what you asked us, I am trying to get a head start so I don't show up there looking clueless, what should I learn? Being honest with what you do and don't know but showing a willingness to learn will go pretty far.
