What Is LabVIEW?

LabVIEW is systems engineering software for applications that require test, measurement, and control with rapid access to hardware and data insights.

Accelerate Engineering

LabVIEW offers a graphical programming approach that helps you visualize every aspect of your application, including hardware configuration, measurement data, and debugging. This visualization makes it simple to integrate measurement hardware from any vendor, represent complex logic on the diagram, develop data analysis algorithms, and design custom engineering user interfaces.

Every Purchase of LabVIEW Includes LabVIEW 2020 and LabVIEW NXG

LabVIEW 2020 simplifies the design of distributed test, measurement, and control systems decreasing your time to market. Combine LabVIEW 2020 with proven, off-the-shelf customizable hardware from NI which has been used by engineers for over 30 years to develop and deploy custom large-scale industrial and production systems.

 

We recommend LabVIEW 2020 for the following application areas:

  • Design Smart Machines or Industrial Equipment
  • Teach Engineering Students

LabVIEW NXG is the next generation of LabVIEW. Test smarter with LabVIEW NXG by quickly automating your hardware, customizing tests to your specifications, and easily viewing measurement results from anywhere.

 

We recommend LabVIEW NXG for the following application areas:

  • Measure Physical Systems with Sensors or Actuators
  • Validate or Verify Electronic Designs
  • Develop Production Test Systems
  • Design Wireless Communications
