[comp.sys.mac.comm] Announcement of Info-LabVIEW Mailing List

tcora@PICA.ARMY.MIL (Tom Coradeschi) (02/22/91)

This message serves to announce the creation of an Internet Mailing List for
the discussion of the use of National Instruments' LabView package for the
Apple Macintosh.

                         =====================

    LabView is a graphical software sytem for developing high-performance
    scientific and engineering applications. LabVIEW acquires data from
    IEEE-488 (GPIB), RS-232/422 and modular (VXI or CAMAC) instruments
    and plug-in data acquisition boards.

    LabVIEW programs, called "virtual instruments" (VIs), are created using
    icons, instead of conventional, text-based code. A VI consists of a front
    panel and a block diagram. The front panel (with knobs, switches, graphs,
    and so on) is the user interface. The block diagram, which is the
    executable code, consists of icons that operate on data connected by
    wires that pass data between them.

                         =====================

The list will be run as a simple redistribution of all submitted messages,
so any note you post will be seen by others just as soon as the mail system
can get it out to them. I will serve as a list maintainer, NOT a moderator,
and will concern myself primarily with returned mail, etc. I am not a
particularly experienced user of LabView, and hope to learn as much from the
discussions here as you probably do, so please don't post direct to me with
technical questions.

To post to the list, send your mail to <info-labview@pica.army.mil>. All
administrativia (such as subscription requests, and deletions) should be
addressed to <info-labview-request@pica.army.mil>.

Please note: This is *not* a USENET group! It is being run via email only at
this time.

In order to provide widest dissemination, this message is being posted to:

Please forward it to those other locations where it would be appropriate.
