National Instruments’ LabVIEW 2010, the latest version of the graphical programming environment for design, test, measurement and control applications, is now available.
LabVIEW 2010 is said to deliver time savings with the help of new features such as off-the-shelf compiler technologies that execute code an average of 20% faster than the previous version and a comprehensive marketplace for evaluating and purchasing add-on toolkits for easily integrating custom functionality into the platform.
For field-programmable gate array (FPGA) users, LabVIEW 2010 delivers a new IP Integration Node that makes it possible to integrate any third-party FPGA IP into LabVIEW applications and is compatible with the Xilinx CORE Generator.
National Instruments also implemented more than a dozen new features suggested by lead users through the LabVIEW Idea Exchange, an online feedback forum that marks a significant new level of collaboration between NI R&D and customers.
