Quiz #7: LabVIEW Fundamentals ExamNational Instruments offers several levels of certification for LabVIEW programmers. These certifications are a great way to advance your career and to show your employer (or potential employers) that you really know LabVIEW. There are three levels of LabVIEW certification:
To become certified at any one of these levels, you have to pay a fee and pass an exam. National Instruments also offers a free online exam called the LabVIEW Fundamentals Exam. Passing this exam will not earn you an official certification at any of the levels listed above, but it's a great way to prepare for the other exams. We'll take the exam in class, and your score on the exam will determine your score for Quiz #7 in this course. The LabVIEW Fundamentals Exam consists of 40 multiple-choice questions with a 45-minute time limit. Most of the topics on the exam are topics that we've covered in EET 159. A word of warning: I've taken the exam, and I thought that some of the questions either were trick questions or dealt with tiny details instead of important concepts. Also, some questions deal with topics we haven't covered in EET 159, so you'll have to guess on those. Here's how many points you'll earn for Quiz #7, based on how many of the exam questions you get right:
To take the test, you'll need a userid and password on the National Instruments website. If you don't already have a userid, it just takes a minute to create one for yourself. It's a good idea to do this anyway, because it lets you get to a lot of special features on their website. At the beginning of the exam you'll be asked whether you're a student, and you'll be given the opprtunity to enter an additional e-mail address so that your score will be sent to your instrcutor, as well as to you. Be sure to enter my e-mail address (nick.reeder@sinclair.edu) so that I'll get a copy of your score. To get started, click here, read the directions, and click the button that says "Take the Exam."
