3 Working with Projects You can use LabVIEW SignalExpress to define measurement procedures by adding and configuring steps in an interactive measurement environment. A step is a configurable function that acquires, generates, analyzes, loads, or stores signals. Most steps process input signals and produce output signals. You can configure the operation of a step by specifying values in a configuration view. A saved sequence of configured steps is a LabVIEW SignalExpress project. This chapt
