LabVIEW

LabVIEW is a systems engineering software for applications that require test, measurement, and control with rapid access to hardware and data insights.

The programming environment simplifies hardware integration for engineering applications so that you have a consistent way to acquire data from NI and third-party hardware. It reduces the complexity of programming, so you can focus on your unique engineering problem.

It enables you to immediately visualize results with built-in, drag-and-drop engineering user interface creation and integrated data viewers. To turn your acquired data into real business results, you can develop algorithms for data analysis and advanced control with included math and signal processing IP, or reuse your own libraries from a variety of tools.

To ensure compatibility with other engineering tools, NI LabVIEW can interoperate with, and reuse libraries from, other software and open-source languages.

With the Platform, one installation gives you access to nearly all products on the platform. If you purchased any modules or toolkits, install and activate them using the Platform installer to ensure compatibility with Lab VIEW 2025. If you want to evaluate any of these add-ons before purchasing them, you can install these add-ons and try them for free for a set period of time.

The following products are included in the Platform. Refer to the readme of each product for information including system requirements, installation, activation, known issues, and bug fixes.
