National Instruments has announced the extension of its 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.
Using a few mouse clicks in LabVIEW SignalExpress, engineers and scientists quickly can acquire live measurements, log their data to a disk and export the data to a spreadsheet application, such as Microsoft Excel. LabVIEW SignalExpress also provides data-logging features such as alarm monitoring and condition logging.
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. The combination of the NI CompactDAQ USB plug-and-play platform and LabVIEW SignalExpress delivers a complete, easy-to-use data-logging solution that can dramatically reduce setup and measurement time.
