National Instruments LabVIEW 8.20 Wins Control Engineering Engineers' Choice Award

We are excited that Control Engineering readers recognised LabVIEW software with this prestigious award, said John Pasquarette, NI Director of Software Marketing. It is a testament to the ongoing innovation in the LabVIEW graphical platform, which is guided by user feedback for continued impact in the control area.

For more than 20 years, LabVIEW graphical development has revolutionised the development of scalable test, measurement and control applications. Regardless of experience, engineers and scientists can rapidly and cost-effectively interface with measurement and control hardware, analyse data, share results and distribute systems.

LabVIEW 8.20 enhances the industrial measurement capabilities of LabVIEW with new features designed for advanced analysis and control, improved distributed system management and new targets for human-machine interfaces (HMIs). By introducing technology that simplifies custom controller hardware development and provides new display targets, LabVIEW 8.20 engineers and machine builders can use one software tool to design and deploy industrial systems performing high-performance measurements, FPGA-based advanced analysis and control, communication to existing systems, and human-machine interfacing.
