LabVIEW(shortforLaboratoryVirtualInstrumentationEngineeringWorkbench)isaplatformanddevelopmentenvironmentforavisualprogramminglanguagefromNationalInstruments.Thegraphicallanguageisnamed"G".OriginallyreleasedfortheAppleMacintoshin1986,LabVIEWiscommonlyusedfordataacquisition,instrumentcontrol,andindustrialautomationonavarietyofplatformsincludingMicrosoftWindows,variousversionsofUNIX,Linux,andMacOSX.ThelatestversionofLabVIEWisversionLabVIEW2010,releasedinAugust2010.
Dataflowprogramming
TheprogramminglanguageusedinLabVIEW,alsoreferredtoasG,isadataflowprogramminglanguage.Executionisdeterminedbythestructureofagraphicalblockdiagram(theLV-sourcecode)onwhichtheprogrammerconnectsdifferentfunction-nodesbydrawingwires.Thesewirespropagatevariablesandanynodecanexecuteassoonasallitsinputdatabecomeavailable.Sincethismightbethecaseformultiplenodessimultaneously,Gisinherentlycapableofparallelexecution.Multi-processingandmulti-threadinghardwareisautomaticallyexploitedbythebuilt-inscheduler,whichmultiplexesmultipleOSthreadsoverthenodesreadyforexecution
Graphicalprogramming
LabVIEWtiesthecreationofuserinterfaces(calledfrontpanels)intothedevelopmentcycle.LabVIEWprograms/subroutinesarecalledvirtualinstruments(VIs).EachVIhasthreecomponents:ablockdiagram,afrontpanel,andaconnectorpanel.ThelastisusedtorepresenttheVIintheblockdiagramsofother,callingVIs.Controlsandindicatorsonthefrontpanelallowanoperatortoinputdataintoorextractdatafromarunningvirtualinstrument.However,thefrontpanelcanalsoserveasaprogrammaticinterface.Thusavirtualinstrumentcaneitherberunasaprogram,withthefrontpanelservingasauserinterface,or,whendroppedasanodeontotheblockdiagram,thefrontpaneldefinestheinputsandoutputsforthegivennodethroughtheconnectorpane.ThisimplieseachVIcanbeeasilytestedbeforebeingembeddedasasubroutineintoalargerprogram.
Thegraphicalapproachalsoallowsnon-programmerstobuildprogramsbydragginganddroppingvirtualrepresentationsoflabequipmentwithwhichtheyarealreadyfamiliar.TheLabVIEWprogrammingenvironment,withtheincludedexamplesandthedocumentation,makesitsimpletocreatesmallapplications.Thisisabenefitononeside,butthereisalsoacertaindangerofunderestimatingtheexpertiseneededforgoodquality"G"programming.Forcomplexalgorithmsorlarge-scalecode,itisimportantthattheprogrammerpossessanextensiveknowledgeofthespecialLabVIEWsyntaxandthetopologyofitsmemorymanagement.ThemostadvancedLabVIEWdevelopmentsystemsofferthepossibilityofbuildingstand-aloneapplications.Furthermore,itispossibletocreatedistributedapplications,whichcommunicatebyaclient/serverscheme,andarethereforeeasiertoimplementduetotheinherentlyparallelnatureofG-code.
