LabVIEW

LabVIEW is a highly productive graphical programming language for building data acquisition and instrumentation systems. With LabVIEW, you quickly create user interfaces that give you interactive control of your software system. To specify your system functionality, you simply assemble block diagrams – a natural design notation for scientists and engineers. Its tight integration with measurement hardware facilitates rapid development of data acquisition, analysis, and presentation solutions. LabVIEW contains powerful built-in measurement analysis and a graphical compiler for optimum performance. LabVIEW is available for Windows 2000/NT/Me/9x, Mac OS, Linux, Sun Solaris, and HP-UX, and comes in three different development system options.

Faster Development

LabVIEW accelerates development over traditional programming by 4 to 10 times! With the modularity and hierarchical structure of LabVIEW, you can prototype, design, and modify systems in a short amount of time. You can also reuse LabVIEW code easily and quickly in other applications.

Better Investment

Using a LabVIEW system, each user has access to a complete instrumentation laboratory at less than the cost of a single commercial instrument. In addition, user configurable LabVIEW systems are flexible enough to adapt to technology changes, resulting in a better long-term investment.

Optimal Performance

All LabVIEW applications execute at compiled speed for optimal performance. With the LabVIEW Professional Development System or Application Builder, you can build stand-alone executables or DLLs for secure distribution of your code. You can even create shared libraries

or DLLs to call LabVIEW code from other programming languages.

Open Development Environment

With the open development environment of LabVIEW, you can connect to other applications through ActiveX, the Web, DLLs, shared libraries, SQL (for databases), DataSocket, TCP/IP, and numerous other protocols. Use LabVIEW to quickly create networked measurement and automation systems that integrate the latest technologies in Web publishing and remote data sharing. LabVIEW also has driver libraries available for plug-in data acquisition, signal conditioning, GPIB, VXI,PXI, computer-based instruments, serial protocols, image acquisition, and motion control. In addition to the LabVIEW development systems, National Instruments offers a variety of add-on modules and toolsets that extend the functionality of LabVIEW. This enables you to quickly build customizable, robust measurement and automation systems.

LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module

For high channel count and distributed applications, the LabVIEW Data logging and Supervisory Control Module provides a complete solution. This module delivers I/O management, event logging and alarm management, distributed logging, historical and real-time trending, built-in security, configurable networking features, OPC device connectivity, and over 3,300 built-in graphics.

LabVIEW Real-Time

For applications that require real-time performance, National Instruments offers LabVIEW Real-Time. LabVIEW Real-Time downloads standard LabVIEW code to a dedicated hardware target running a real-time operating system independent from Windows.

LabVIEW Vision Development Module

The LabVIEW Vision Development Module is for scientists, automation engineers, and technicians who are developing LabVIEW machine vision and

scientific imaging applications. The LabVIEW Vision Development Module includes IMAQ Vision, a library of vision functions, and IMAQ Vision Builder, an interactive environment for vision applications. Unlike any other vision products, IMAQ Vision Builder and IMAQ Vision work together to simplify vision software development so that you can apply vision to your measurement and automation applications.

Countless Applications

LabVIEW applications are implemented in many industries worldwide including automotive, telecommunications, aerospace, semiconductor, electronic design and production, process control, biomedical, and many others. Applications cover all phases of product development from research to design to production and to service. By leveraging LabVIEW throughout your organization you can save time and money by sharing information and software.

Test and Measurement

LabVIEW has become an industry-standard development tool for test and measurement applications. With Test Stand, LabVIEW-based test programs, and the industry’s largest instrument driver library, you have a single, consistent development and execution environment for your entire system.

Process Control and Factory Automation

LabVIEW is used in numerous process control and factory automation applications. Many scientists and engineers look to LabVIEW for the high speed, high channel count measurement and control that graphical programming offers. For large, complex industrial automation and control applications, the LabVIEW Data logging and Supervisory Control Module provides the same graphical programming as LabVIEW, but is designed specifically for monitoring large numbers of I/O points, communicating with industrial controllers and networks, and providing PC-based control.
