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.
