Digital electronics is one of the fundamental courses found in all electrical engineering and most science programs. The great variety of LabVIEW Boolean and numeric controls/indicators, together with the wealth of programming structures and functions, make LabVIEW an excellent tool to visualize and demonstrate many of the fundamental concepts of digital electronics. The inherent modularity of LabVIEW is exploited in the same way that complex digital integrated circuits are built from circuits of less complexity, which in turn are built from fundamental gates.
