LabVIEW Adds Graphical Programming For Embedded Design

Expanding the capabilities of LabVIEW, the Embedded Development Module extends the application's scope to include any 32-bit embedded processors, providing a graphical approach to algorithm design, simulation, prototyping, and deployment of custom designs. The module includes more than 400 analysis functions for signal processing, linear algebra, curve fitting, statistics, and calculus. In addition to out-of-the-box functionality for integrating data early in the process, the module also features a framework for integrating I/O drivers and board support packages for a range of processors. Users can develop their applications using the LabVIEW graphical environment, and then automatically generate C code to integrate with specific processor tool chains. Price starts at $9,995.
