Hi Guys,

I always wanted to print out the help file in LabVIEW or get my hands on decent (up to date) documentation that I could print out and read at the beach or at night before dozing off.

Question is do you guys really Read the Manual only at your PC or laptop?

Where is the best LabVIEW documentation today?
Is there an actual user manual for 8.6.1 or 2009 or 2010?

Thanks!

Hello AKA_TG,

There are manuals installed on your PC. You can find them at

C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2010\manuals

Hope this helps.

But of course these do not include anything like a complete set of manuals like in the 'old' days'. The only included manuals of much help to a beginner are the getting started and quick reference manuals.

AKA_TG,

If you want a hardcopy, your only real option is to do a print of the LabVIEW Help. I have not done a print in a long while. What I tend to do is look at the release and upgrade notes to see what has changed and then look it up in the Help. I'll also open any new examples with Context Help turned on.

Sorry to hear that Dennis.

I too remember the old days when NI actually supplied a user manual that was up to date with each release.

Was just wondering if the 2010 release had any better manuals. I guess I'll go chek it out.
