labview advantages Over other languages

[arbm]

If I want to recommend Labview for real time measuring and analysis. What one can say?

You can say that LV is quite strong in analysis and connections to
various I/O buses. You can also say that it has a large following, tell
them about this list, and tell them there is a demo they can get from NI.

Hello arbm -

First and foremost, you want to stress that LabVIEW is a programming language designed specifically with engineers and scientists in mind. You can point them to the LabVIEW website where they can learn more about the product and view demos. Let them know about the great support NI offers for its products and the NI developer zone where customers share ideas and solutions.

Have a great day!

thank you 'BeckyB'

But really this is not enough. for example what is the advantages of G programming over line code progrmming, how to compare Labview to C++ interm of speed ... etc.

It is important to me.

Hi,

The main advantage for me as a developer is that it is much more fun. For
management, advantages such as good support, maintainability, rapid
development etc. are in order.

Who do you need to convince? Management or developers? Send them both to a
basic course. Once the management realise that even they get it (being not
technical), they will be convinced!

Regards,

Wiebe.

You probably want to visit the NI web site for more detailed info.
There is an article there regarding the LV compiler, and there are
others there regarding performance of generated code. If you are
talking about performance of the person writing the program, that is a
much more difficult thing to measure, but one of the benefits of LV is
that it has a very simple syntax. For people that need to use the
computer to do measurement tasks, they often need to use a programming
tool. If they know C, Basic, or Fortran, then they might want to
investigate other NI
products specially built for those languages. If
they don't know a computer language, or if they are a bit rusty, then LV
often fits the bill.

If it is important to you, you might want to get the evaluation edition
and learn about it firsthand.

This website has some great articles on the advantages of using LabVIEW. The resources there provide detailed information about LabVIEW, the technology behind how it works, and how to use it.

I hope that helps!

Obviously, in LabVIEW, multi threaded programs are easy to write, and
easy to read.

Thank you all very much
A special thanks to BeckyB for the website
it is really helpful
