LabVIEW

LabVIEW is a professional tool designed to provide you with a reliable environment for managing measurement and control systems. The program is designed for the scientists who need to gather data from multiple instruments and use it to solve problems.
National Instruments offers a wide range of measurement instruments, monitoring tools and data acquisition hardware for laboratories and research facilities. While these tools can record important lab data, a software solution is required to process and visualize the results of various tests and experiments.
LabVIEW is optimized to handle both standalone instruments and complex control systems. Whether you need to gather data for multiple measurement instruments, automate the data acquisition process or create monitoring applications, this program can assist you.
The program features a clear interface that allows you to create program diagrams by simply placing elements to describe the control system. For instance, you can acquire data by adding a sensor, process the readings in order to generate a relevant value and display it on the dashboard by using a digital counter.
Although the available options can be overwhelming for a first-time user, the extensive documentation allows you to quickly learn the program basics. The online resources include step by step tutorials about creating applications and advanced programming methods.
An important aspect is the hardware integration with the measurement tools which makes it easier to add sensors and signal analyzers to your applications. The VI interface allows you to visually design complex control systems by using dataflow programming.
The installation includes automation support which can greatly improve your productivity by reducing the time required for acquiring and validate data. A wide range of templates and examples are also available for quickly creating working applications.
If you need to design measurement systems and process the acquired data, LabVIEW provides all the required tools which makes it an essential tool for your projects.
