1. An Interactive Guide to
Creating a Simple
LabVIEW Program

2. Overview
• This presentation is designed to be
paired with the instructions titled “How
to Create a Simple LabVIEW Program.”
• Each slide corresponds to a single step of
the instructions, providing an animation
of how to complete that step of the
program.
