Hi,

Is labview any good for a beginner in electronics?

Or would you recommend another?

Thanks
 

You can use NI Multisim, it's easy and you can simulate various circuits.

Please could you give us an indication of what you want to do.

For example do you want some experience in graphical user interface (GUI) programming or programming micros etc.?

I suspect you want a feel of everything so just get the demos and go along.
 
I am building a potentiostatic circuit, but having problems with obtaining a output. So i was considering trying something like NI Multisim to find solution to design.

thanks
 

MultiSim and Ultiboard from NI are really easy to learn.
If you don't have the money to purchase you can try Designspark PCB (free) tool or Eagle (for a few $)

is there any relation between Labview and PCB/Schematics??

From my limited knowledge Labview is mailny used for creatinf front ends for various applications. (Test stations etc) . It falls under s/w programming .
There you can use some diagrams instead for text what we follow in C,VB etc ( they call them as VI (virtual insrument).
It is not much difficult to learn.
I dont know whether circuit simulation and firmware (like mplab) development is possible in Labview. I believe it is not possible.
 

With the latest version of LabVIEW they have implemented a C code generator where you can generate C code and then implement it into a MSP430 or other microcontroller but you are still in need for a compiler for your target. It can be used for graphically modelling your algorithms.

National Instruments wanted to deliver a full test system solution (including simulating and pcb design) so they have aquired electronic workbench (EWB) I think it was called.
Today they are also focusing more on mechatronic system design solutions....
