NI LabVIEW
A graphical programming environment for measurement, test, and control.
Overview
NI LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment used by engineers and scientists to develop measurement, test, and control systems. It uses a visual programming language, G, to create programs in a block diagram form, which simplifies the development of complex systems and provides a more intuitive way to visualize data flow.
✨ Key Features
- Graphical programming (G language)
- Extensive hardware integration
- Large libraries for data acquisition, analysis, and visualization
- Real-time and FPGA programming capabilities
- User interface design tools
🎯 Key Differentiators
