Description

Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language. It is a graphical programming platform that helps engineers scale from the design to test stage, for both small and large systems. It allows for unprecedented integration with the legacy software and hardware, while capitalising on the latest computing technologies. LabVIEW programs are called virtual instruments (VI), because their appearance and operation imitate physical instruments. LabVIEW contains a comprehensive set of tools for acquiring, analysing, displaying and storing data as well as tools to help you troubleshoot your code. LabVIEW provides a powerful platform for undertaking a wide variety of different applications. It started as an environment for managing test programming, but since its inception, the applications for which it can be used have considerably expanded. It has expanded from being a graphical test management language to become a graphical system design environment.
