For 20 years, LabVIEW graphical developments has revolutionised the way thousands of engineers and scientists work, providing improved product quality, shorter time to market, and greater engineering and manufacturing efficiency. LabVIEW has evolved from a desktop data acquisition and instrument control tool into an integrated design, control, and test platform for desktop, industrial, embedded, and handheld solutions.
LabVIEW has built-in compatibility with thousands of I/O devices and instruments, and extensive libraries for analysis, signal processing, and control algorithms. With the intuitive data visualization and user interface, engineers and scientists can quickly design, prototype, and deploy solutions.
