LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment by National Instruments^TM used by millions of engineers and scientists to develop sophisticated measurement, test, and control systems using intuitive graphical icons and wires that resemble a flowchart.

It offers unrivaled integration with thousands of hardware devices and provides hundreds of built-in libraries for advanced analysis and data visualization – all for creating virtual instrumentation. The LabVIEW platform is scalable across multiple targets and OSs, and, since its introduction in 1986, it has become an industry leader.

Context Help [Ctrl + H] and Example Finder are your best friends! Make use of them.

The NI forums are a great help with a wide variety of already solved problems and plenty of solutions provided.

When enquiring for help on your code/program, please provide a VI snippet when possible. VI Snippets are .png images that have your LabVIEW source code embedded in them.
