Why LabVIEW?

LabVIEW is a development environment for NI’s (National Instruments) graphical programming language G. The software is particularly strong when used for tasks within test, measurement, and control.

The advantage of LabVIEW is that it can visualize all aspects of applications, including hardware configuration, measurement data, and troubleshooting. This visualization makes it easier, among other things, to integrate measurement equipment from different vendors, develop analysis algorithms, and design custom interfaces.
