National Instruments (NI) has announced its NI LabVIEW software- and NI hardware-compatible mobile applications for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, helping engineers integrate the latest mobile technology into their applications. By combining the portability, ease of use, faster start-up time and longer battery longevity of mobile devices with the LabVIEW, engineers can access data from acquisition and embedded monitoring systems.

The applications remotely view PC or embedded measurements from LabVIEW on iPad, iPhone and Android mobile devices using a combination of charts, gauges, text indicators and LEDs. Distributed measurements from LabVIEW programmable devices such as NI CompactRIO can also be visualized.
