Write code faster with LabVIEW 2015

National Instruments (NI) has released LabVIEW 2015 system design software. The latest version of LabVIEW is claimed to deliver speed improvements, development shortcuts, and debugging tools. LabVIEW 2015 allows designers to reuse of the same code and engineering processes across systems, saving time and money.

LabVIEW 2015 equips engineers with support for advanced hardware such as the quad-core Performance CompactRIO and CompactDAQ Controllers, 8-core PXI Controller, and High Voltage System SMU.

The software is also said to reduce the learning curve for employing a software-designed approach to create powerful, flexible, and reliable systems. With three application-specific suites that include a year of unlimited training and certification benefits, developers have access to software and training resources to build better systems faster.

LabVIEW 2015 is extended by the LabVIEW Tools Network, which includes IP both from NI and third-party providers. The Advanced Plotting Toolkit by Heliosphere Research is said to furnish developers with powerful programmatic plotting tools to create professional data visualisations. The RTI DDS Toolkit by Real-Time Innovations is said to enable 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.
