Currently, the Analog Discovery 1 & 2<\/a>, the Electronic Explorer board<\/a>, and the OpenScope MZ<\/a> all have the ability to connect to LabVIEW<\/a>. But with Waveforms<\/a> and Waveforms Live<\/a> being so easy to use it might be tough to understand when you would need to use LabVIEW. In this post, we will go over some of the advantages of using these tools in LabVIEW.<\/p>\n

Raw data does not always immediately convey useful information. Often, scientists and engineers must transform the signal, remove noise disturbances and compensate for environmental effects. For that reason, signal processing is a fundamental need in nearly all engineering applications. LabVIEW<\/a> gives you the ability to filter data in real time, it also provides tools for saving your data or exporting it to other applications. This allows you to combined analysis with data acquisition and data presentation, which is often not possible in other software development environments.<\/p>\n

Signal Analysis Express VIs<\/h3>\n

Configuration-based Express VIs provide the simplest way to add inline measurement analysis and signal processing to a LabVIEW application. The many signal analysis Express VIs<\/a> provide a configuration approach to LabVIEW development and encompass the capabilities of many lower-level signal processing.<\/p>\n

With Express VIs, users can interactively explore the various analysis algorithms settings, while immediately seeing the results in the configuration dialog. For example, the\u00a0Filter Express VI\u00a0provides tools to configure such digital filters as lowpass, highpass, bandpass, and bandstop. The configuration dialog for this Express VI provides controls to interactively configure filter settings.<\/p>\n

Other remaining signal analysis Express VIs include the following high-level functions:<\/p>\n
