Academic Programs

Embedded applications have unique requirements such as deterministic behavior. With LabVIEW Real-Time, real time controllers, and data acquisition hardware from NI you can create applications with deterministic, real-time performance. There is no need to sacrifice ease of use as you can develop and debug your application using LabVIEW graphical programming on Windows, and download time-critical application components to run embedded on RT Series hardware.
