Why LabVIEW?

Using LabVIEW in the Interactive Learning Environments

• “ Take it for granted because it is right, because it is correct”– LabVIEW interferes at the limit

between theory and practice;– We need a friendly and easy to

handle interface;– We can spare a lot of time and

money.

Insérez icivotre logo LabVIEW from scientific

point of view!• Based on graphical programing

language G • Best data acquisition and data

procesing• Large coverage field, from science to

industry automation and education• Platform independently (Windows,

MacOS, Unix, Linux…) • Used in the last ten years by thousands

of developers worldwide

Insérez icivotre logo LabVIEW from education

point of view!• Requires minimum knowledge and a

little expertise• Fast developing speed• Replace the uncomfortable existing

labs• We could present both theory and

simulation• Easy create new Virtual Instruments• Can easy integrate on-line training• With LabVIEW 6i full Internet support

• Creating new programs using the already made and ulterior programs• Creating a friendly interface for

the programs.• The possibility of an interactive study

of the processes which take place.• Creating applications related to

other fields.
