LabVIEW Insights

What is LabVIEW?

LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments. It is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users create programs graphically, by connecting function blocks and data flows, rather than writing text-based code.
