To give users accelerated virtual instruments (VIs) that encapsulate measurement functions and run on PDAs and work with FPGAs, National Instruments Inc. (NI) has launched its LabView 7 Express. Billed as a major upgrade to its LabView graphical development environment following a four-year engineering effort, NI adds that LabView 7 Express simplifies creation of measurement and automation applications, and extends LabView to more settings, such as embedded field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to Palm OS and Microsoft Pocket PC personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Express VIs encapsulate measurement functions in interactive virtual instruments for common measurement and automation applications. More than 40 Express VIs streamline development for tasks ranging from data acquisition to signal analysis to file I/O, delivering advanced measurement functions in configurable dialogs requiring little or no programming.
