National Instruments has unveiled NI LabVIEW 2013, the latest version of its design platform.

With the latest introduction, users can take advantage of advanced technologies without rewriting their applications or learning new tools, explains the company.

Features include overhauled sample projects and an expanded training library; Simplified block diagram comment navigation and organization; Updated templates, shipping examples and online training courses; and Access to the LabVIEW Tools Network, an expansive network of third-party add-ons.

Ray Almgren, vice president of marketing at National Instruments, commented: “Not only does it support the NI Linux Real-Time OS, giving developers access to dynamic, community-sourced libraries, it’s the foundation of the new cRIO-9068 software-designed controller.”
