Summary

LabVIEW Bible (3rd Edition) is a LabVIEW technical reference by Chen Shuxue and Liu Xuan, published by Publishing House of Electronics Industry in April 2022, approximately 1.246 million characters long and 708 pages. The book is divided into three parts by depth of learning and use case. The Beginner section starts from creating the first VI, walks through editing the front panel and block diagram, introduces basic controls such as numerics, Booleans, strings and paths, drop-down lists and enums, arrays, clusters, timestamps, and waveform data, and systematically explains functions including basic arithmetic, array and cluster operations, bitwise and logical operations, and relational and comparison operations, as well as program execution structures such as For Loops and While Loops, basic data structures, and file storage methods, helping readers build a complete LabVIEW programming foundation. The Advanced section further discusses references, the use of property nodes and method nodes, various advanced controls, text-based programming in LabVIEW, and DLL and C language interfaces, as well as MathScript programming based on MATLAB syntax and component-based advanced programming methods and patterns, covering engineering practice in program architecture and code reuse. The Engineering Applications section addresses real projects, introducing common methods for serial, parallel, and network communication, the basic principles and implementation of data acquisition, and the construction and programming of LabVIEW real-time systems, and explaining the use of common professional toolkits such as the database connectivity toolkit, the data logging and supervision toolkit, the report generation toolkit, and the state diagram toolkit. Comprehensive and richly illustrated, the book can serve as a textbook and teaching reference for university programs in communications, measurement technology, automatic control, and related fields, as well as a technical manual for engineers designing and developing instruments and automated test systems.

Editor's review

LabVIEW 的入门书不少，但能把“从零起步”与“工程实战”放在同一本书里讲透的并不多。《LabVIEW宝典》自 2011 年初版以来多次改版，靠的正是这种覆盖面与实用性兼具的定位。第3版延续三篇结构：入门篇把基本控件、基本函数和程序运行结构逐条拆开讲，配合大量图示，对刚接触图形化编程的读者非常友好，不会被满屏连线劝退；高级篇则集中处理引用、属性与方法节点、DLL 与 C 语言接口、MathScript 以及基于组件的编程模式，这些正是从“能写”跨到“写得好”绕不开的关节；工程应用篇把串口、并口、网络通信、数据采集、实时系统与常用工具包一并纳入，读者遇到具体项目时有章可循。两位作者都有长期一线开发背景，陈树学自 LabVIEW 6.0 起在汽车制造与测试设备领域使用该语言，刘萱长期主持车轮轮胎检测设备的软件研发，因此书中取舍偏向真实工程需求，而非罗列菜单。全书篇幅较大，更适合当作案头手册按需查阅，而非一次性通读。对需要系统构建 LabVIEW 知识体系、或正在做测试测量与自动控制项目的读者，这是一本值得长期留在手边的参考书。

Who it's for

A good fit for

自动化、通信、测控技术与仪器等专业的学生，用于课程学习与课程设计
刚接触 LabVIEW、希望系统建立图形化编程基础的读者
从事测试测量、数据采集与设备软件开发的工程技术人员
需要用 DLL、C 语言接口、数据库或报表工具包完成项目的开发者

Not a good fit for

完全没有编程概念、只想要零散小技巧速成的读者
只做文本编程、无虚拟仪器与硬件测试需求的纯软件开发者
希望查找 LabVIEW 最新版本新特性专门手册的读者

Reading tips

先按入门篇顺序通读并动手复现示例 VI，把控件、函数与循环结构打牢，再进入高级篇。
把本书当手册用：遇到接口、通信、采集或工具包问题时按章节查阅，不必从头读到尾。
读高级篇时配合实际项目练习引用、属性节点与编程模式，避免只看懂而不会用。
工程应用篇可与真实硬件或仿真设备结合，边搭建串口通信、数据采集小系统边对照阅读。

FAQ

这本书第3版和第2版、初版有什么区别？

初版于 2011 年由电子工业出版社出版，ISBN 为 9787121129612，约 603 页；第2版出版于 2017 年 9 月，ISBN 为 9787121325434，约 123.4 万字；第3版出版于 2022 年 4 月，ISBN 为 9787121411670，约 124.6 万字、708 页。三版主体框架都是入门篇、高级篇、工程应用篇三部分，新版在内容与软件版本适配上有所更新，选购时建议以最新第3版为主。

零基础可以直接读这本书吗？

可以，但需要耐心。入门篇从创建第一个 VI 讲起，对基本控件、基本函数和循环结构讲解细致，适合零基础起步；不过全书篇幅大、内容密度高，建议先集中攻克入门篇并动手做示例，再逐步扩展到高级篇，不建议一上来就通读全书。

书里的内容偏理论还是偏工程实践？

整体偏工程实践。两位作者都有多年一线开发经验，书中除编程方法与技巧外，还专门用工程应用篇讲串口、并口、网络通信、数据采集、实时系统以及数据库连接、数据监控与记录、报表生成、状态图等工具包的使用，很多内容来自真实项目中的做法。

这本书适合当作教材使用吗？

可以作为教材或教学参考书。出版社将其定位为高等院校通信、测量技术、自动控制等相关课程的教材与教学参考书，同时也可供工程技术人员设计开发仪器或自动测试系统时查阅，兼顾课堂教学与自学两种场景。
