National Instruments has announced LabVIEW 2009, the latest version of its graphical system design software platform for control, test, and embedded system development.
LabVIEW 2009 is designed to simplify the development challenges of parallel hardware architectures with new virtualization technology that takes advantage of multicore systems as well as by offering new compiler improvements and IP that enhance field-programmable gate array (FPGA) design. The latest version of LabVIEW makes it possible to deploy code to wireless sensor networks to help engineers and scientists build smarter industrial measurement and monitoring systems, and features new solutions for testing multiple wireless standards such as WLAN, WiMAX, GPS, and MIMO systems on a single hardware platform. In addition, LabVIEW 2009 streamlines mathematical algorithm design and deployment to real-time hardware.
“In today’s challenging economic climate, engineers and scientists are being asked to complete their projects with fewer resources and in less time,” said Dr. James Truchard, president, CEO and cofounder of National Instruments. “With new opportunities emerging from investments in infrastructure, environmental monitoring, medical research, and device design and test, we focused our LabVIEW 2009 development to harness key technologies such as multicore, FPGA design, wireless platforms, and real-time math to empower innovation in these areas.”
