What is LabVIEW?
LabVIEW is an acronym for Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench. It is a computer software development application created by National Instruments™ (Austin, Texas) that aims to aid scientists and researchers in gathering and understanding data using computer programs. LabVIEW is a G graphical programming software that utilizes graphical objects to symbolize lines of code instead of the average programmers’ text-based languages. In the source code of this graphical program, data execution depends on the flow of data. What may take days in C++ or Java written code is cut down to hours in G programming. Add to this, LabVIEW has built a general purpose library of functions and subroutines for most programming tasks. The time saved allows the user to fully focus and understand how data is flowing. Even though some type of programming experience is useful, a novice in text-based programming language(s) can grasp the mechanics of LabVIEW because it is a graphical programming language utilizing iconic symbols to illustrate program action.
