National Instruments has announced NI LabWindows/CVI Version 8.0, the proven ANSI C development environment for test and automation. This latest version continues to build upon the software’s 17-year history of continued innovation and backward compatibility with faster code execution and deployment in addition to better real-time integration that extends LabWindows/CVI to deterministic and reliable test applications.

Engineers can speed their test applications with optimising compiler support in LabWindows/CVI 8.0. The software now provides configuration templates for Intel, Microsoft and Borland optimising compilers to produce faster running code, significantly increasing the throughput of automated test applications.

“NI LabWindows/CVI helps protect me from test system obsolescence by consistently maintaining backward compatibility,” said Dave Dunham, Senior ATE Systems Engineer at MTI. “Using LabWindows/CVI 8.0, I not only can continue to reuse C code that I created 11 years ago, but the code now executes faster with the new optimising compiler support. National Instruments commitment to backward compatibility with LabWindows/CVI makes it a leader for military/aerospace test development.”

Also, engineers can deploy all their test system software from their development machines to production machines in one distribution package and installer. With this improved system-deployment feature, engineers in manufacturing test quickly can deploy their LabWindows/CVI applications as well as their dependencies, including hardware drivers such as NI-DAQmx, to the factory floor in minutes.

LabWindows/CVI enhances its real-time functionality with new deployment directly to National Instruments LabVIEW Real-Time targets such as PXI controllers. With this functionality, engineers can run their LabWindows/CVI code deterministically for a range of new test applications that require reliability such as environmental test.

“National Instruments continues its investment in the proven LabWindows/CVI platform for test,” said Tim Dehne, NI Senior Vice President of R&D. “With LabWindows/CVI 8.0, C developers can access new functionality for deploying their code directly to deterministic hardware targets. This new capability gives them the flexibility to broaden LabWindows/CVI use in their applications.”

NI offers essential technologies for test, which combine high-performance hardware, flexible software and innovative timing and synchronisation technology for test and design applications. LabWindows/CVI 8.0 seamlessly integrates with a wide variety of I/O, including the latest NI hardware such as the PXI-5114 250 MS/s digitiser and the PCI-1588, the industry’s first IEEE 1588 PCI interface for distributed synchronisation over Ethernet. In addition, LabWindows/CVI now includes .NET support, giving C programmers the opportunity to take advantage of rich database and Web service connectivity.
