National Instruments has announced that readers of NASA Tech Briefs have selected its LabVIEW 7 Express as the 'Bronze Product of the Year Award' winner. This award recognises LabVIEW 7 Express as premier software for design engineers and makes NI the first three-time recipient of this prestigious award.
"Our annual Readers' Choice Awards highlight products with exceptional technical merit and practical value to our 195 000 design engineering readers," said Linda Bell, NASA Tech Briefs editor-in-chief. "Our readers voted LabVIEW 7 Express as one of the top three products of 2003 due to the impact it has had on the design engineering community."
A culmination of four years of engineering effort, NI says that LabVIEW 7 Express dramatically simplifies the creation of measurement and automation applications with Express VIs and interactive measurement assistants. These new code-generation tools accelerate development tasks, such as data acquisition and instrument connectivity, with interactive dialog boxes that require little or no programming.
"In the 10 years that I have used LabVIEW, I have never seen such a large leap in productivity in a single version upgrade," said Albert Geven, engineering manager of the T&M automation group at Royal Philips Electronics "Not only did features such as Express VIs and the new data acquisition framework help us reduce development time, they made it easy for colleagues who had never used LabVIEW to step in and begin programming immediately."
This release also extends LabVIEW to a wider range of targets, from embedded FPGAs to Palm OS and Microsoft Pocket PC PDAs. The LabVIEW FPGA Module delivers unique timing, control and synchronisation to engineers without requiring specialised knowledge of hardware programming languages, and the LabVIEW PDA Module makes handheld LabVIEW data acquisition systems available for the first time, it says.
National Instruments received the award for LabVIEW 7 Express at National Manufacturing Week in February. Previous National Instruments products that have won this award are Measurement Studio 6.0 in 2003 and LabVIEW 5.0 in 1999.
