National Instruments releases LabVIEW 2015

National Instruments has released the LabVIEW 2015 system design software that delivers speed improvements, development shortcuts and debugging tools to empower developers to efficiently interact with the systems they create.

“Using LabVIEW and the LabVIEW RIO architecture allowed us to reduce the time of developing and testing a new robot control algorithm to just one week, compared to one month with a text-based approach. We are able to prototype with software and hardware faster and adapt to rapidly changing control requirements quicker,” said DongJin Hyun, senior research engineer (PhD), Central Advanced Research and Engineering Institute, Hyundai Motor Group.

LabVIEW has been used across a wide variety of industries to drive higher performance and product quality.

LabVIEW 2015 further equips engineers with support for advanced hardware such as the new quad core performance compactRIO and compactDAQ controllers, 14-slot compactDAQ USB 3.0 chassis, single-board RIO controllers, controller for FlexRIO, eight-core PXI controller and high-voltage system SMU. LabVIEW 2015 also reduces the learning curve for employing a software-designed approach to quickly create powerful, flexible and reliable systems.

With three application-specific suites that include a year of unlimited training and certification benefits, developers have unprecedented access to software and training resources to build better systems faster.

LabVIEW 2015 continues to accelerate engineering productivity with features designed to help developers open, write, debug and deploy code faster. LabVIEW 2015 is extended by the LabVIEW Tools Network, which has been enriched by IP both from NI and third-party providers. The new Advanced Plotting Toolkit by Heliosphere Research furnishes developers with powerful programmatic plotting tools to create professional data visualisations. The RTI DDS Toolkit by Real-Time Innovations enables IoT applications with scalable peer-to-peer data communication.

Additionally, application-specific libraries for biomedical, GPU analysis, and Multicore Analysis and Sparse Matrix applications are now available free of charge.
