Graphical Programming Benefits
LabVIEW
Empowering technology
• Natural flowchart notation
• Eliminates syntactical details
Reduces development time
• Rapid prototyping
• Self-documenting
Intuitive and easy to learn
Ideal for code reusability
• Modularity and hierarchy
www.ni.com/academic
Real-Time Data Analysis
• PCs are evolving faster than instrumentation
• Real-time processing is now possible with a PC
• Analysis format easily reconfigurable
• Analysis functionality is moving from instruments to PCs
• Analysis defines the virtual instrument
www.ni.com/academic
Integrating Theoretical and Practical Data
G Math for LabVIEW
Numerical recipes in G
• Differential equations, Optimization, Roots, Integration, Differentiation, Special Functions, Linear Systems
Hundreds of math functions in G
Front panel formulas
• Generate arbitrary waveforms
• Control a process
• Simulate a system
Data visualization
• 3D mesh plots, contour plots

Distance Learning
Monitoring lab experiments
• LabVIEW Web Server allows you to easily publish images
of your front panels to the web
Interacting with experiments over the internet
• Internet Toolkit allows CGI scripting makes the front panel
more interactive
Distributing live data to multiple computers
• DataSocket allows you to transfer live data between
multiple applications and web pages over the Internet

The LabVIEW Student Edition
“Providing our students with the tools to
be competitive is the goal of all
education, but it is a constant battle for
schools to keep up with technology –
money and training time are the
problems. The LabVIEW Student Edition
addresses these difficulties, placing the
price of the newest technology at a level
where every school can afford it.”
Clark Gedney, Ph.D. Instructional Computing Department of Biological Sciences Purdue University

What is a software license
In an academic setting National Instruments have defined the
following site licenses
Site Type Equivalent # of Workstations
• Department 11-50
• College/Faculty 50-200
