Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments.
LabVIEW is systems engineering software for applications that require test, measurement, and control with rapid access to hardware and data insights. LabVIEW offers a graphical programming approach that helps you visualize every aspect of your application, including hardware configuration, measurement data, and debugging. This visualization makes it simple to integrate measurement hardware from any vendor, represent complex logic on the diagram, develop data analysis algorithms, and design custom engineering user interfaces.
The graphical language is named “G”; not to be confused with G-code. The G dataflow language was originally developed by Labview, LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of operating systems (OSs), including Microsoft Windows as well as various versions of Unix, Linux, and macOS. The latest versions of LabVIEW are LabVIEW 2020 and LabVIEW NXG 5.0, released in May 2020. NI released the free for non-commercial use LabVIEW and LabVIEW NXG Community editions on April 28th, 2020.

This session is a true introduction to what is often viewed as a daunting topic. Learn the basics of object-oriented programming (OOP), when and why you should use it, and how to use OOP in LabVIEW software. Attend this session if you are a LabVIEW developer who is new to OOP or a developer familiar with OOP principles in other languages and want to learn how to apply that knowledge to LabVIEW code.
