LabVIEW

National Instruments LabVIEW™ software can be used to communicate with and control Vernier interfaces and sensors. This opens new possibilities for data acquisition, custom analysis, student projects, and instrument control. More importantly, it introduces students to a programming language used extensively throughout the engineering discipline in academia and industry.

LabVIEW can be used with our SensorDAQ, LEGO NXT Sensor Adapter, Go! devices, and LabPro. We have made it easy to get started with LabVIEW and Vernier hardware by posting free examples and projects at http://engineering.vernier.com. Using the examples, you can introduce engineering and science concepts with very little, or no, programming; however, because LabVIEW is a powerful development software, students are able to modify the code. They can turn on a motor when the sensor reading is too high, build their own analysis into the data acquisition, or design a better user interface.

Purchase either a single-user LabVIEW license or save on a 25-user license. The LabVIEW licenses are available only to U.S. high schools and include Windows, Macintosh, and Linux versions. LabVIEW for use in colleges and universities, or for individual use, should be purchased from National Instruments at www.ni.com/academic.
