National Instruments’ release also features a new project-based environment for developing and managing large-scale applications and the latest in Express technology for simplified instrument control. Significant updates have also been made to the LabView Real-Time, FPGA, PDA, and Datalogging and Supervisory Control modules.

This latest version extends graphical programming further into test and control systems, such as real-time distributed communication and control tools. It is said to present a simplified, scalable interface for communicating with and synchronizing between remote intelligent devices and systems, such as real-time processors and FPGAs for use by embedded designers, test engineers, and control system engineer.
