LabVIEW 8.5

LabVIEW 8.5 is a graphical system design platform for test, control and embedded system development. Building on nearly 10 years of investment in multithreading technology, it simplifies multicore as well as FPGA-based application development with its intuitive parallel dataflow language. Running on parallel multicore architectures, the software can deliver faster test throughput, more efficient processor-intensive analysis and more reliable real-time systems on dedicated processor cores. The system also extends the LabVIEW platform further into embedded and industrial applications with the new statechart design module for modeling and implementing system behavior as well as new I/O libraries and analysis functions for industrial monitoring and control.
