LabVIEW Industrial Software


LabVIEW Software Platform for NI PACs
Learn how you can optimize existing automation systems or build new machines.

NI LabVIEW is a graphical development environment that combines the ease of use of configuration-based tools with the flexibility of a powerful programming language. With LabVIEW, you can quickly create user interfaces as well as perform advanced control, signal processing and analysis, communication, and logging. To specify system functionality, simply assemble block diagrams and use the intuitive LabVIEW graphical development paradigm to create deterministic control applications that you can deploy as distributed or stand-alone systems. With NI PAC’s, you can:

  • Connect to your existing programmable logic controller (PLC) systems
  • Perform advanced control beyond proportional integral derivative (PID)
  • Use more than 500 included signal processing and analysis functions

LabVIEW Industrial Software

LabVIEW

LabVIEW is a graphical programming tool that combines configuration-based ease of use with unparalleled flexibility for applications requiring advanced control, intensive signal processing and analysis, and support of the industry's most powerful PAC platforms.

LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control Module

The LabVIEW Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module is the ideal LabVIEW add-on for developing your HMI/SCADA or high-channel-count data-logging applications. With the LabVIEW DSC Module, you can interactively develop a distributed monitoring and control system with tags ranging from a few dozen to tens of thousands.

LabVIEW Real-Time Module

The LabVIEW Real-Time Module provides support for creating reliable, deterministic control applications that run headless on a variety of PACs and industrial PCs using the same graphical programming approach.

LabVIEW FPGA Module

The LabVIEW FPGA Module converts your graphical diagram into custom hardware for maximum performance and reliability. National Instruments field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based PACs provide a single platform for high-speed measurements, advanced control, logging, and analysis and signal processing.
