The LabVIEW programming environment simplifies the integration of hardware into technical applications, which enables a unified method of data acquisition from NI and third-party hardware. Because programming in LabVIEW is less complex than other programming techniques, users can focus on the technical challenges that LabVIEW needs to solve. Because it is so easy to create a user interface in LabVIEW using ready-made elements that are dragged and dropped, the results of the program execution can be viewed immediately. To turn the data you collect into real business results, you can develop algorithms for data analysis and advanced control with math and signal processing IP included, or you can include your own libraries with a variety of tools. LabVIEW can interact with other software and other open source languages (such as the libraries of these products), making it compatible with other technical software products.
Test-optimized AI assistant Nigel AI.
The Nigel AI Advisor offers context-aware guidance, automation, and deeper insights into your NI software. Unlike general-purpose AI advisors, Nigel AI is specifically optimized for the development of test applications. It draws on decades of testing expertise and reliable data to not only provide more accurate answers but also present them in technical formats such as tables and charts—enabling you to make informed decisions faster.
Nigel AI is integrated into LabVIEW Professional* to help users onboard, develop, and review program code more quickly.
Highlights:
- Generate LabVIEW code using text prompts
- Configure sequences and instruments
- Analyze projects and get assistance with developing test systems
Since Nigel AI was developed specifically for testing and is integrated into the NI software environment, the AI works within the context of your project.
Note: Nigel AI is an optional feature and can be disabled by the user at any time. AI Advisors, including Nigel AI, are new technologies. These Advisors are still in their infancy, so they may make mistakes. Nigel AI is here to advise you, but it is important to verify the accuracy of its responses.
