The LabWindows/CVI ANSI C integrated programming environment helps you create custom engineering applications. You can use it to manage your project, edit and debug source code, build a user interface, and test code output and performance in one streamlined, tabbed workspace. LabWindows/CVI includes tools for advanced debugging, code documentation, and system deployment so you can integrate source code control, requirements, and data management systems. The software also makes it easier to quickly acquire data from GPIB, USB, serial, Ethernet, PXI, VXI, and FPGA instruments using the built-in instrument I/O libraries, built-in instrument drivers, or the two interactive measurement assistants.

This tutorial walks through developing a simple windows form test tool in LabWindows. It does not use any vendor test equipment or libraries though. It is interfacing by a simple USB to Serial protocol to an Arduino to test LEDs, buttons and a potentiometer.


Since 1976, National Instruments has equipped engineers and scientists with tools that accelerate productivity, innovation and discovery.
