LabVIEW Teams With SignalExpress www.ni.com/signalexpress Building on the abilities of the Lab VIE W design platform, LabVIEW SignalExpress interactive measurement software promises to simplify data logging, instrument control, and academic instruction right out of the box with no programming required. The application provides an easy-to-use, drag-and-drop graphical environment for controlling literally hundreds of measurement devices and, via a couple mouse clicks, users can acquire live measurements, log data to disk, and export it to spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft's Excel and others. Data-logging features include alarm monitoring and condition logging. Additionally, users can generate LabVIEW graphical programming code with a single mouse click to further extend applications with the original user interfaces or add custom logic for more advanced data-logging applications. The LabVIEW SignalExpress application also provides one-click, plug-and-play setup with the company's CompactDAQ USB-based modular data acquisition system and works with more than 270 data acquisition devices. The CompactDAQ platform, consisting of more than 30 modules, promises an easy path to handling many measurements such as RTD, current I/O, high-density digital I/O, high-speed analog I/O, and high-accuracy analog I/O. When paired with LabVIEW SignalExpress, CompactDAQ USB creates a complete, easy-to-use data-logging system that, reportedly, can significantly reduce setup and measurement time. Pricing for LabVIEW SignalExpress starts at $699. For further information, call NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, Austin, TX. (888) 280-7645.
