LabVIEW is 25

9 November 2011 Design Automation

National Instruments unveiled NI LabVIEW 2011, the 25th anniversary version of its award-winning system design software.

LabVIEW 2011 is designed to increase development efficiency through new engineering-specific libraries and its ability to interact with almost any hardware device or deployment target, including the new multicore NI CompactRIO controller and the NI PXIe-5665, a high-performance RF vector signal analyser. It also supports assemblies built in the latest Microsoft .NET framework and includes numerous features driven directly from user feedback. With these and other advantages, LabVIEW 2011 helps engineers integrate individual system components into a single, reconfigurable platform.

LabVIEW 2011 makes it possible for engineers to achieve productivity gains in a variety of tasks, including the following time-saving functions:

* Quickly develop visually striking, contemporary user interfaces with a new Silver palette of controls and indicators.

* Reuse code with support for the latest .NET assemblies, .m structures and new Xilinx IP for the LabVIEW FPGA module.

* Achieve up to five times faster loading, wiring, editing and compiling of FPGA code.

* Programmatically build and distribute executables to targets.
