LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment that provides unique productivity accelerators for test system development, such as an intuitive approach to programming, connectivity to any instrument, and fully integrated user interfaces.
LabVIEW Features and Applications
LabVIEW has what you need to build automated test systems, fast. Unlike other solutions:
- LabVIEW can connect to any instrument, regardless of vendor
- LabVIEW has a native user interface for monitoring and controlling test
- LabVIEW has thousands of engineering analysis functions
- LabVIEW works with popular programming languages, such as Python, C, and .NET
What Can You Do with LabVIEW?
- Acquire Data and Control Instruments
- Monitor and Interact with Your Test
- Communicate Using Industry Protocols
- Develop with Graphical Programming
- Gain Insights from Data
- Add Code from Other Programming Languages
