DIAdem | Modern Marvels | Episode: Crashes | History Channel | July 10, 2008 | Some engineers from Delphi were looking at crash data using DIAdem. These specific engineers were working with IRL teams to collect data when a car crashes during a race. The same episode also showed the Snell foundation (we have video about them on the bus), although they didn't show any LV or cDAQ hardware. | Matt Barr | ||
LabVIEW,DAQ | Decouverte (French) | Radio-Canada | May | Dr. McSleepy: The fully automated Anesthesia system. Researchers at McGill University and the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC) have performed the world’s first totally automated administration of an anesthetic. Nicknamed “McSleepy,” the new system developed by the researchers administers drugs for general anesthesia and monitors their separate effects completely automatically, with no manual intervention. | http://www.radio-canada.ca/nouvelles/Science-Sante/2008/05/01/003-McSleepy-mcgill.shtml | |||

LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI | SkyNews - France | Apr 3, 2007 | 0:09 | On April 3, the French TGV broke its own world speed record for the fastest conventional train in the world, clocking a staggering 357 mph. During the record-breaking attempt, LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI were used inside the TGV to measure about 160 temperature channels coming from wheel shafts, and acquire data coming from the FIP bus. LabVIEW was used as a data server, collecting data while LabWindows/CVI was used for the HMI, creating and displaying objects dynamically. | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWd_xOyX5X0&eurl=http://www.viroadshow.com/2007_04_01_archive.html | |||
LabVIEW | 60 Minutes | CBS | April 17, 2009 | CBS 60 Minutes ran a story entitled " Cold Fusion is Hot Again" in which researcher Michael McKubre makes the case for a bright future involving cold fusion. You will notice a bunch of LabVIEW measurement and control applications shown during the interview. | http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/04/17/60minutes/main4952167.shtml | |||
DIAdem | Deadliest Warrior | Spike TV | April 2009 | Spike TV has a new show called the Deadliest Warrior in which the pit two famous warriors against each other and try to measure which one is the deadliest. They are using DIAdem extensively to analyze the measurement results to determine the deadliest. It’s a cool show with lots of gory details attempting to simulate real-life impact of these deadly weapons (in one episode, they attempt to slice through 4 huge pigs with one fell swoop of a samarai sword - the pigs simulating humans. | http://www.spike.com/show/31082?refsite=7190&cmpnid=865&pt=pr&lkdes=NET_spike | |||
LabVIEW | Myth Busters | Discovery Channel | Upcoming | In an upcoming episode, the MythBusters team uses LabVIEW to control and measure one of the experiments - I’ll have to update this link once the episode goes live. | http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/mythbusters/mythbusters.html | |||

I always thought the HMI they use to fire the 32MJ EMRG looked suspiciously like LabVIEW:
Lab View was seen on the Discovery channel documentary Scanning the Skies: The Discovery Channel Telescope in the part about making the mirror.
Also many many episodes of Myth Busters
