The integrated LabWindows/CVI workspace is designed for optimal productivity, particularly in large applications containing multiple source and project files.
The environment provides easy access to built-in measurement libraries, a comprehensive project view, dynamic reference information and a structured function library.
The LabWindows/CVI 7.0 environment also includes a web-integrated example finder to access and sort more than 250 examples delivered with the product, and thousands more on the web created by the established LabWindows/CVI community.
LabWindows/CVI 7.0 incorporates significant NI software platform advancements recently introduced in LabView 7 Express to simplify and dramatically speed instrument control.
LabWindows/CVI 7.0 features the Instrument I/O Assistant to deliver direct I/O connectivity to GPIB, USB, serial, VXI and other traditional instruments.
Engineers can use this code-generating assistant to easily prototype instrument control systems and take quick measurements.
"Initial instrument communication and data parsing often constitute 80 percent of an instrumentation application.
Now the LabWindows/CVI Instrument I/O Assistant takes care of these tasks", said Ray Almgren, NI Vice President of Product Strategy.
"This is just one of the major new developments in LabWindows/CVI 7.0 that dramatically increases the productivity of ANSI C programming for test and measurement development".
LabWindows/CVI 7.0 also features NI-DAQ 7, the new NI data acquisition interface that speeds performance by a factor of 10 to 20 times for concurrent and single-point I/O.
LabWindows/CVI gives engineers low-level, direct access to this interface through built-in libraries, or engineers can use the DAQ Assistant to interface to the NI-DAQ 7 driver for interactively adding custom timing, scaling and triggering into data acquisition tasks with minimal programming.
LabWindows/CVI 7.0 also includes: function panel editor enhancements; an expanded user interface library; enhanced debugging; simplified search features; and new graph control enhancements. Request a free brochure from National Instruments ...
