ataflow programming

e programming language used in LabVIEW, also referred to as G, is a dataflow programming language. Execution is

ermined by the structure of a graphical block diagram (the LV-source code) on which the programmer connects different

ction-nodes by drawing wires. These wires propagate variables and any node can execute as soon as all its input data

ome available. Since this might be the case for multiple nodes simultaneously, G is inherently capable of parallel

cution. Multi-processing and multi-threading hardware is automatically exploited by the built-in scheduler, which

ltiplexes multiple OS threads over the nodes ready for executions.

raphical programming

bVIEW ties the creation of user interfaces (called front panels) into the

velopment cycle. LabVIEW programs/subroutines are called virtual instruments

s). Each VI has three components: a block diagram, a front panel and a

nnector panel. The last is used to represent the VI in the block diagrams ofer, calling VIs. The front panel is built using controls and indicators. Controls

inputs they allow a user to supply information to the VI. Indicators are

puts they indicate, or display, the results based on the inputs given to the VI.

e back panel, which is a block diagram, contains the graphical source code. All

he objects placed on the front panel will appear on the back panel as

minals. The back panel also contains structures and functions which perform

erations on controls and supply data to indicators. The structures and functions

found on the Functions palette and can be placed on the back panel.

llectively controls, indicators, structures and functions will be referred to as

des. Nodes are connected to one another using wires e.g. two controls and

indicator can be wired to the addition function so that the indicator displays the sum of the two controls. Thus a virtual

trument can either be run as a program, with the front panel serving as a user interface, or, when dropped as a node onto

block diagram, the front panel defines the inputs and outputs for the given node through the connector panel. This

plies each VI can be easily tested before being embedded as a subroutine into a larger program.

e graphical approach also allows non-programmers to build programs by dragging and dropping virtual representations o

equipment with which they are already familiar. The LabVIEW programming environment, with the included examples

d documentation, makes it simple to create small applications. This is a benefit on one side, but there is also a certain

nger of underestimating the expertise needed for high-quality G programming. For complex algorithms or large-scalede, it is important that the programmer possesses an extensive knowledge of the special LabVIEW syntax and the

ology of its memory management. The most advanced LabVIEW development systems offer the possibility of building

nd-alone applications. Furthermore, it is possible to create distributed applications, which communicate by a client/server

eme, and are therefore easier to implement due to the inherently parallel nature of G.

e image above is an illustration of a simple LabVIEW program showing the dataflow source code in the form of the block

gram in the lower left frame and the input and output variables as graphical objects in the upper right frame. The two are

essential components of a LabVIEW program referred to as a Virtual Instrument.

enefits

terfacing

key of LabVIEW over other development environments is the extensive support for accessing instrumentation hardware.

vers and abstraction layers for many different types of instruments and buses are included or are available for inclusion.

ese present themselves as graphical nodes. The abstraction layers offer standard software interfaces to communicate with

dware devices. The provided driver interfaces save program development time. The sales pitch of National Instruments

herefore, that even people with limited coding experience can write programs and deploy test solutions in a reduced time

me when compared to more conventional or competing systems. A new hardware driver topology (DAQmxBase), whichnsists mainly of G-coded components with only a few register calls through NI Measurement Hardware DDK (Driver

velopment Kit) functions, provides platform independent hardware access to numerous data acquisition and

rumentation devices. The DAQmxBase driver is available for LabVIEW on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms.

hough not a .NET language, LabVIEW also offers an interface to .NET Framework assemblies, which makes it possible

use, for instance, databases and XML files in automation projects.

ode compilation

erms of performance, LabVIEW includes a compiler that produces native code for the CPU platform. The graphical

de is translated into executable machine code by interpreting the syntax and by compilation. The LabVIEW syntax is

ctly enforced during the editing process and compiled into the executable machine code when requested to run or upon

ing. In the latter case, the executable and the source code are merged into a single file. The executable runs with the help

he LabVIEW run-time engine, which contains some precompiled code to perform common tasks that are defined by the

anguage. The run-time engine reduces compile time and also provides a consistent interface to various operating systems,

phic systems, hardware components, etc. The run-time environment makes the code portable across platforms.

nerally, LabVIEW code can be slower than equivalent compiled C code, although the differences often lie more withgram optimization than inherent execution speed[citation needed].

arge libraries

ny libraries with a large number of functions for data acquisition, signal generation, mathematics, statistics, signal

nditioning, analysis, etc., along with numerous graphical interface elements are provided in several LabVIEW package

ions. The number of advanced mathematic blocks for functions such as integration, filters, and other specialized

abilities usually associated with data capture from hardware sensors is immense. In addition, LabVIEW includes a text-

ed programming component called MathScript with additional functionality for signal processing, analysis and

thematics. MathScript can be integrated with graphical programming using "script nodes" and uses a syntax that is

nerally compatible with MATLAB[citation needed].

ode re-use

e fully modular character of LabVIEW code allows code reuse without modifications: as long as the data types of input

d output are consistent, two sub VIs are interchangeable.

e LabVIEW Professional Development System allows creating stand-alone executables and the resultant executable can

distributed an unlimited number of times. The run-time engine and its libraries can be provided freely along with thecutable.

benefit of the LabVIEW environment is the platform independent nature of the G code, which is (with the exception of a

w platform-specific functions) portable between the different LabVIEW systems for different operating systems

indows, Mac OS X and Linux). National Instruments is increasingly focusing on the capability of deploying LabVIEW

de onto an increasing number of targets including devices like Phar Lap or VxWorks OS based LabVIEW Real-Time

ntrollers, FPGAs, PocketPCs, PDAs, Wireless sensor network nodes, and even Lego Mindstorms NXT.

rallel programming

bVIEW is an inherently concurrent language, so it is very easy to program multiple tasks that are performed in parallel by

ans of multithreading. This is, for instance, easily done by drawing two or more parallel while loops. This is a great benefit

test system automation, where it is common practice to run processes like test sequencing, data recording, and hardware

rfacing in parallel.

osystem

e to the longevity and popularity of the LabVIEW language, and the ability for users to extend the functionality, a large

system of 3rd party add-ons has developed through contributions from the community. This ecosystem is available on

LabVIEW Tools Network, and is a marketplace for both free and paid LabVIEW add-ons.

er community

ere is a low-cost LabVIEW Student Edition aimed at educational institutions for learning purposes. There is also an

ve community of LabVIEW users who communicate through several e-mail groups and Internet forums.

riticism

bVIEW is a proprietary product of National Instruments. Unlike common programming languages such as C or

RTRAN, LabVIEW is not managed or specified by a third party standards committee such as ANSI, IEEE, ISO, etc.

censing

lding a stand-alone application with LabVIEW requires the Application Builder component which is included with the

fessional Development System but requires a separate purchase if using the Base Package or Full Development

stem.[1] There is no LabVIEW 2011 student license for Linux.

untime environment

mpiled executables produced by all newer versions of the Application Builder (since version 6.0) are not truly standalone

hat they also require that the LabVIEW run-time engine be installed on any target computer on which users run the

lication.[2] The use of standard controls requires a runtime library for any language and all major operating system

pliers supply the required libraries for common languages such as C. However, the runtime required for LabVIEW is not

plied with any operating system and is required to be specifically installed by the administrator or user. This requirement

cause problems if an application is distributed to a user who may be prepared to run the application but does not haveinclination or permission to install additional files on the host system prior to running the executable.

opyright notice

cording to the National Instruments license agreement an executable built with LabVIEW should contain a note that the

tware is written in LabVIEW.[3]

ere is some debate as to whether LabVIEW is really a general purpose programming language (or in some cases whether

really a programming language at all) as opposed to an application-specific development environment for measurement

d automation.[4] Critics point to a lack of features, common in most other programming languages, such as, until version

09, native recursion and, until version 8.20, native object oriented features.

rmal testing

an environment targeted for repetitive application, especially in process automation, LabVIEW includes no built-in

ctions for formally testing limits, reading a limits file, and conveniently tracking the passing or failing results.

e to such constraints in effect with formal and dynamic testing, the recommended usage potentially will not cover the

uired scope for production or therapy processes, especially when these are subject of risk and security auditing, e.g.

ording to FDA 21 C.F.R. 820 et seq.[5]

mpanies tend to build their own proprietary functions for this basic feature if they choose not to use National Instruments'

duct line TestStand.

iming system

bVIEW uses the January 1, 1904 epoch as its "zero" time. Other programs that use the January 1, 1904 epoch are

ple Inc.'s Mac OS through version 9, Palm OS, and Microsoft Excel (optionally).[6]

epositories and libraries


6/8

enG, as well as LAVA Code Repository (LAVAcr), serve as repositories for a wide range of Open Source LabVIEW

plications and libraries. SourceForge has LabVIEW listed as one of the possible languages in which code can be written.

Package Manager has become the standard package manager for LabVIEW libraries. It is very similar in purpose to

by's RubyGems and Perl's CPAN, although it provides a graphical user interface similar to the Synaptic Package

nager. VI Package Manager provides access to a repository of the OpenG (and other) libraries for LabVIEW.

ols exist to convert MathML into G code.[7]

elated software

tional Instruments also offers a product called Measurement Studio, which offers many of the test, measurement and

ntrol capabilities of LabVIEW, as a set of classes for use with Microsoft Visual Studio. This allows developers to harness

me of LabVIEW's strengths within the text-based .NET framework. National Instruments also offers LabWindows/CVI

an alternative for ANSI C programmers.

hen applications require sequencing, users often use LabVIEW with TestStand test management software, also from

tional Instruments.

e Ch interpreter is a C/C++ interpreter that can be embedded into LabVIEW for scripting.[8]

e TRIL Centre Ireland BioMobius platform and DSP Robotics' FlowStone DSP also use a form of graphical

gramming similar to LabVIEW, but are limited to the biomedical and robotics industries respectively.

bVIEW has a direct node with modeFRONTIER, a multidisciplinary and multi-objective optimization and design

vironment, written to allow coupling to almost any computer-aided engineering tool. Both can be part of the same process

rkflow description and can be virtually driven by the optimization technologies available in modeFRONTIER.
