However, if you are an expert at C language and have never used Labview, then the opposite may be true.
Labview has a lot of resources available to interface with the instrument (same can be said of text-based language). However, you can quickly prototype a solution and port it to the final solution. There are additional resources when using Labview to assiste you with debugging when dealing with instrument control, such as Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX). Full support with GPIB.
