Did you know the official name of LabVIEW is Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench? If not, tell us what you thought it stood for. The engineer with the wildest answer wins a prize.

Since LabVIEW is not text-based, I thought it stood for:

Lacking A Basis of Very Indistinguishable English Words 😉

P.S. Are only Engineers allowed to enter? I am a BSEE.

Some "alternate" expansions:

Little assorted baked Victorian Cachew

perhaps some recursion:

LabVIEW assisted broken VI Eradication Workflow

I expected that it stood for Laboratory View.

LabVIEW application easily makes various laboratory instruments visible in the computer displays.

View <-- VIsualization <-- Graphical presentation <-- graphical presentation of measured data and graphical programming
