LabVIEW 2015 released

Design Automation

23 September 2015 Design Automation

The 2015 version of National Instruments’ LabVIEW system design software is now available, delivering speed improvements, development shortcuts and debugging tools. LabVIEW 2015 continues to standardise the way users interact with almost any hardware through the reuse of the same code and engineering processes across systems.

In addition to further equipping engineers with support for advanced hardware such as the quad-core CompactRIO and CompactDAQ controllers, 8-core PXI controller and high-voltage system SMU, the tool reduces the learning curve for employing a software-designed approach to quickly create powerful, flexible and reliable systems. With three application-specific suites that include a year of unlimited training and certification benefits, developers have unprecedented access to software and training resources to build better systems faster.

LabVIEW 2015 continues to accelerate engineering productivity with a collection of features designed to help developers open, write, debug, and deploy code faster. These include the ability to open large libraries up to eight times faster and eliminate prompts to locate missing module subVIs; execute common programming tasks faster with seven new time-saving right-click plugins and develop additional plugins to maximise productivity; examine arrays and strings in auto-scaling probe watch windows and document findings with hyperlink and hashtag support in comments; and offload FPGA compilations to the LabVIEW FPGA Compile Cloud service included with Standard Service Program membership.

LabVIEW 2015 is extended by the LabVIEW Tools Network, which has been enriched by IP from NI and third-party providers. The new Advanced Plotting Toolkit by Heliosphere Research furnishes developers with powerful programmatic plotting tools to create professional data visualisations. The RTI DDS Toolkit by Real-Time Innovations enables IoT applications with scalable peer-to-peer data communication. Additionally, application-specific libraries for biomedical, GPU analysis, and multicore analysis and aparse matrix applications are now available free of charge.
