NI's LabVIEW programming environment simplifies hardware integration for engineering applications, allowing users to have a consistent way to acquire data from NI and third-party hardware. LabVIEW reduces the complexity of programming so that users can focus on their unique engineering problems. LabVIEW enables users to immediately visualize results with built-in, drag-and-drop engineering user interface creation and integrated data viewers.
To turn acquired data into real business results, users can develop algorithms for data analysis and advanced control with included math and signal processing IP or reuse their own libraries from a variety of tools. To ensure compatibility with other engineering tools, LabVIEW can interoperate with, and reuse libraries from, other software and open-source languages.
