In this Tutorial, you will learn about:
- What is VI
- Block diagram and front panel
- Control and function Pallete
- Example - Create your first Hello word Program!
- Exercise
Now can you answer the following simple question?
Which statement best describes a LabVIEW Project (.lvproj) file?
a. A specialized folder that contains all files pertaining to an application
b. A file containing a front panel and block diagram where programming steps can be
implemented
c. A compiled version of code mostly used for final deployment of an application
d. A file that contains references to, and provides organization for all files pertaining to an application

What is VI :
virtual instruments are LabVIEW programs because their appearance and operation often imitate physical instruments, such as oscilloscopes and multimeters. LabVIEW contains a comprehensive set of tools for acquiring, analyzing, displaying, and storing data, as well as tools to help you troubleshoot the code you write.
where the program is controlled and executed.As shown in Fig ( 2.1)
The block diagram contains the graphical source code of a LabVIEW program. The concept of the block diagram is to separate the graphical source code from the user interface in a logical and simple manner. Front panel objects appear as terminals on the block diagram. Terminals on the block diagram reflect the changes made to their corresponding front panel objects and vice versa.

Front Panel:
The front panel window is the user interface for the VI.where the program is controlled and executed.As shown in Fig ( 2.1)

Controls Palette:
The Controls palette contains the controls and indicators you use to create the front panel. You access the Controls palette from the front panel window by selecting View»Controls Palette or by right-clicking on any empty space in the front panel window. The Controls palette is broken into various categories; you can expose some or all of these categories to suit your needs. Figure 2 shows a Controls palette with all of the categories exposed and the Modern category expanded.
Block Diagram:
The block diagram contains the graphical source code of a LabVIEW program. The concept of the block diagram is to separate the graphical source code from the user interface in a logical and simple manner. Front panel objects appear as terminals on the block diagram. Terminals on the block diagram reflect the changes made to their corresponding front panel objects and vice versa.
