The LabVIEW Student Edition is a graphical programming language designed for scientists and engineers who automate laboratory and industrial measurements with computers. LabVIEW makes it easy to build custom systems for data acquisition, instruments control, data analysis, and data presentation. It offers an innovative programming methodology in which users graphically assemble software modules called Virtual Instruments (VIs). With The LabVIEW Student Edition, standard computers, and low-cost data acquisition and instrument control hardware, professors can automate their labs without a huge capital expenditure. LabVIEW can also be used without hardware to demonstrate scientific principles, simulate data, teach programming techniques, and much more. Because of its flexibility, LabVIEW challenges students to be creative and independent in their laboratories, helping them develop skills they will find valuable in industry.
