NI extends LabVIEW graphical system design platform
(Product News, 08 Mar 2007 )
National Instruments-in design, prototype and deploy systems for measurement, automation and embedded applications-announced the extension of the National Instruments LabVIEW graphical system design platform with the release of LabVIEW SignalExpress, interactive measurement software which simplifies data logging, instrument control and academic instruction.
Built on the basic measurement, analysis and reporting capabilities of NI LabVIEW graphical programming, LabVIEW SignalExpress delivers an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop experience for controlling hundreds of measurement devices.
LabVIEW SignalExpress provides one-click, plug-and-play setup with the NI CompactDAQ USB-based modular data acquisition system and works with more than 270 data acquisition devices. NI CompactDAQ, with more than 30 modules, makes it easy for users to incorporate many measurements such as RTD, current I/O, high-density digital I/O, high-speed analog I/O and high-accuracy analog I/O.
Jeff Kodosky, creator of LabVIEW as well as the co-founder and business fellow at National Instruments, said, "National Instruments developed LabVIEW to give engineers and scientists a way to create user-defined applications for automating their measurements. Now, with the addition of LabVIEW SignalExpress to the LabVIEW family, we are further simplifying the most common measurement tasks for our users while providing a simple path to the full power of the complete LabVIEW platform."
