What's the difference between LabWindows CVI and LabVIEW?

1, which refer to different software.

LabVIEW is software based on graphical programming language, and law windows/CVI is software based on text programming language, which is very similar to traditional programming language (such as C).

2. They are essentially different.

LabVIEW is a virtual instrument platform developed by American National Instrument Company. It is a development tool that uses icon code instead of text programming language to create applications. LabWindows/CVI organically combines C language with professional tools in the field of measurement and control technology, and can realize data acquisition, analysis and display. It is a virtual instrument development platform based on C language.

They are suitable for different people.

Compared with LabWindows CVI, LabWindows CVI is more convenient to use and suitable for less skilled text programming. LabWindows CVI is a development tool based on standard C programming language. Its interface and some basic usage are similar to VC, and its functions are relatively powerful, but it is much more complicated to use than LabWindows CVI.

Extended data:

The obvious difference between LabVIEW and other computer languages is that other computer languages use text-based language to generate codes, while LabVIEW uses graphic editing language G to write programs, and the generated programs are block diagrams.

LavWindows/CVI is mainly used to develop various testing, control, fault analysis and information processing software. Compared with LabVIEW, another virtual instrument development tool developed by NI, LAV Windows/CVI is more suitable for the development of medium and large complex test software.

Virtual instrument based on LavWindows/CVI plays an important role in nondestructive testing, power instrument system, temperature control system, process control system, fault diagnosis and medical treatment.
