A great programming platform doesn’t happen by chance. It is the result of several elements that
come together, continuously evolving and innovating to create a complete ecosystem around it.
Alongside NI’s continuous innovations in strengthening the power of the LabVIEW platform,
there has also been a birth of many Indian third party alliances, solution partners, industry-
academic collaborations, support structure and a strong Indian LabVIEW community.
Over the past 17 years, there has been an organic evolution of a strong India LabVIEW Sphere,
an India ready LabVIEW ecosystem.

Key features of NI LabVIEW
Faster Programming
Graphical Programming: Program with drag-&-drop, graphical function blocks instead of writing lines of text
Dataflow Representation: Easily develop, maintain, understand the codes with an intuitive flowchart representation
Multicore Programming
Automatic Multithreading: Handle large data sets and complex algorithms faster because LabVIEW inherently runs
on multiple threads
Execution Highlighting: Easily optimize code for parallel execution using built-in debugging and visualization tools
Upgrades
Yearly LabVIEW Release: Update adds new features to drive more efficiency and performance into applications.
Toolkits & Modules: The toolkits and modules upgrades help improve productivity irrespective of the fact that you
are a first-time user or long-time expert.

Which is the right LabVIEW Development system for you?
For more than 20 years, engineers and scientists around the world depended on LabVIEW to meet their specific
application needs. Because every project is different, the LabVIEW graphical development environment is modular,
making it easier for users to configure a package just for them. Every user startswith a development system and then
can add application tools or deployment targets depending on requirements. This flexible packaging enables LabVIEW
functionality to grow as users tackle more complex projects.
