National Instruments introduces anniversary version of LabView

October 2011 News

National Instruments has unveiled NI LabVIEW 2011, the 25th-anniversary version of its award-winning system design software. LabVIEW accelerates the productivity of engineers and scientists and can increase development efficiency dramatically through new engineering-specific libraries and its ability to interact with almost any hardware device or deployment target. With these and other advantages, LabVIEW 2011 helps engineers integrate individual system components into a single, reconfigurable platform and do their jobs faster, better and at a lower cost.

“Twenty-five years ago, we created LabVIEW to help engineers focus on innovating instead of wrestling with complicated programming and system integration issues, and today, it has become the ultimate system design software for measurement and control,” says Jeff Kodosky, National Instruments business and technology fellow, cofounder and inventor of LabVIEW. “With each new version, whether by ensuring integration with the latest hardware, introducing new libraries and APIs or implementing engineer-requested features, our primary objective remains to increase productivity in all engineering situations.”

With its stability for mission-critical applications, as well as its simplified integration with hardware from many industry leaders, LabVIEW 2011 gives measurement and control system designers the confidence to innovate efficiently within a proven support infrastructure.

When combined with modular hardware, LabVIEW 2011 is the centerpiece of the NI approach to graphical system design, which provides a unified platform for designing, prototyping and deploying applications with maximum efficiency. Engineers and scientists in virtually every industry are using graphical system design, from basic measurement applications to the most complex, advanced research projects.
