What Is LabVIEW?
LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment engineers use to develop automated research, validation, and production test systems.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Programming like your
drawing a flow chart
LabVIEW has what you need to build automated test systems, fast.
-Thousands of available analysis functions
-Configurable, interactive display elements
-Drivers for automating every instrument and
data acquisition hardware
-Connectivity to other languages and
industry-standard protocols
LABVIEW APPLICATIONS
What Can I Do
with LabVIEW?
For the past 35 years, LabVIEW has been engineers’ tool of choice for developing automated test systems. From performing a simple voltage measurement to advancing space missions, discover how LabVIEW can advance your next project:
LabVIEW Editions
LabVIEW is available in three editions and is a part of the Test Workflow bundle, which scale in features and capabilities to meet your application requirements. Consider the Test Workflow bundle for LabVIEW and more NI Software. Licenses are sold as one-year subscriptions that include access to online training, degreed engineers for technical support, and software updates.
LabVIEW Base
Recommended for building simple test and measurement applications.
Includes the standard capabilities of LabVIEW:
-Acquire data from NI and third-party hardware and communicate using industry protocols
-Create interactive UIs for test monitoring and control.
-Utilize standard math, probability, and statistical functions
-Integrate code written in Python, C/C++, .NET, and MathWorks MATLAB® software
-Save data to .csv, .tdms, or any custom-defined binary file
Test Workflow Standard
Recommended for applications that require hardware automation, data analysis, automated reporting, and remote access to test.
