LabVIEW is used at many companies in the greater Seattle area, including Boeing, Microsoft, and Intel. Icons representing each function are dropped onto the block diagram.

LabVIEW is a programming environment, but is unique because it is programmed using a graphical dataflow language. Reports may be generated in the form of a text file, Excel spreadsheet, or Word Document. The analyzed data may then be saved to a new file, played out through a signal generator, or shared across a network for others to view the results of the test. LabVIEW contains hundreds of analysis functions ranging from simple mathematical functions to advanced math (Calculus, ODE’s, linear algebra) and advanced signal processing (FFT’s, filters, Joint Time-Frequency Analysis). Once acquired, LabVIEW can analyze the data by applying a combination of analysis functions. Data may also be read in to LabVIEW from a data file. Instruments may be connected to a control PC running LabVIEW by a serial, Ethernet, USB, GPIB, or other port. Data may be acquired from an instrument such as an oscilloscope or multimeter, or may be acquired through a data acquisition system. Using LabVIEW, scientists and engineers can acquire data from a variety of sources. LabVIEW, from National Instruments, is a graphical programming environment designed specifically for scientists and engineers who need to acquire, analyze, and present scientific data or to control automated processes. LabVIEW may be requested from the College of Engineering Software ordering site. The full End User License Agreement (EULA) is available in a PDF file.
