Software Programming Choices
There are several options to choose from when programming your
National Instruments DAQ hardware. You can use LabVIEW,
LabWindows/CVI, ComponentWorks, VirtualBench, or NI-DAQ.
National Instruments Application Software
LabVIEW features interactive graphics, a state-of-the art user interface,
and a powerful graphical programming language. The LabVIEW Data
Acquisition VI Library, a series of VIs for using LabVIEW with
National Instruments DAQ hardware, is included with LabVIEW. The
LabVIEW Data Acquisition VI Library is functionally equivalent to the
NI-DAQ software.
LabWindows/CVI features interactive graphics and a state-of-the-art
user interface, and uses the ANSI standard C programming language.
The LabWindows/CVI Data Acquisition Library, a series of functions
for using National Instruments DAQ hardware, is included with
LabWindows/CVI. The LabWindows/CVI Data Acquisition Library is
functionally equivalent to the NI-DAQ software.
ComponentWorks contains tools for data acquisition and instrument
control built on NI-DAQ driver software. ComponentWorks provides a
higher-level programming interface for building virtual instruments
through standard OLE controls and DLLs. With ComponentWorks, you
can use all of the configuration tools, resource management utilities,
and interactive control utilities included with NI-DAQ.
