Creating Custom Software

In addition to taking measurements with the NI USB-TC01 launch screen, you can also build custom software for your NI USB-TC01 with LabVIEW and NI-DAQmx driver software.

LabVIEW uses graphical icons and wires that resemble a flowchart, so you can graphically wire together function blocks to create your own applications for logging data, alarming, triggering, reporting, and performing real-time data analysis.
