Platform-Based Approach

30 ni.com

Single Design Environment Manage and organize all system

resources, including I/O and deployment targets

Code Portability Access to latest technologies

with minimal code refactoring

Built-In Engineering IP Over 900 control and analysis libraries designed for engineering and science

Tools Network & Community Leverage the partner ecosystem

of more than 175 add-on products

Systems Management Includes multiple system management clients and an API for extensibility

Code Reuse Reuse existing libraries, .m files, HDL and state-based simulation

Language Support Augment with existing C/C++ development expertise and code

Deployment Targets Deploy LabVIEW code to HMIs,

RT processors, and FPGA targets

LabVIEW System Design Software

Accelerates Your Success By abstracting low-level complexity and integrating all of the tools you need to build any measurement or control system
