LabVIEW Real-Time Software

National Instruments LabVIEW graphical development software helps you develop, debug, and deploy distributed real-time systems. Use the NI LabVIEW Real-Time Module to develop reliable and deterministic applications that you can deploy to a variety of scalable hardware targets. With the LabVIEW FPGA Module, you can define custom hardware with graphical development for National Instruments R Series hardware targets.

Rapid Development

The LabVIEW Real-Time Module extends the LabVIEW graphical development environment so you can create advanced deterministic applications with more than 500 analysis and control routines.

Distributed Deployment

Deploy your real-time application to networked targets and use robust communication interfaces to share data among targets and large-scale supervisory systems with thousands of channels.

I/O Integration

Use off-the-shelf, full-featured hardware drivers to integrate diverse I/O such as analog, digital, motion control, vision, and high-accuracy instruments with your real-time applications.
