which dramatically reduce software development time, because you do not
have to spend time programming the low-level control of each instrument.
Measurement Studio includes support for Microsoft Visual C++, Visual
Basic, and the .NET platform.
LabWindows/CVI is an interactive ANSI C programming environment
designed for building virtual instrument applications. LabWindows/CVI
delivers a drag-and-drop editor for building user interfaces, a complete
ANSI C environment for building your test program logic, and a collection
of automated code generation tools, as well as utilities for building
automated test systems, monitoring applications, or laboratory
experiments.
To use any of these application programs, install them before the
NI-VISA/NI-VXI software installation. LabVIEW, Measurement Studio,
and LabWindows/CVI integrate the VXI and VISA libraries that are
required to support your PCI-based MXI-2 products. You also get hundreds
of complete instrument drivers, which are modular, source-code programs
that handle the communication with your instrument to speed your
application development.
