For engineers, time is a valuable commodity in every way.
Time is important whether you need to acquire data faster, accurately represent real-world signals in software, synchronize remote systems, or simply finish your job faster. NI LabVIEW software is uniquely helpful in both saving you time and representing time with the G programming language. The graphical approach makes you more productive by focusing on data and the operations performed on that data and by abstracting much of the administrative complexity of computer programming such as memory allocation and language syntax. LabVIEW also contains advanced timing mechanisms and APIs to define timing constraints and relationships between hardware and software.
National Instruments has prioritized key LabVIEW 2010 features that are all about time. The latest version is a platform-wide software update with new features driven directly by customer requests, new field-programmable gate array (FPGA) intellectual property (IP) blocks, enhanced timing and synchronization capabilities, and an improved back-end compiler that generates optimized machine code, providing up to 20 percent faster run-time execution.
