Four Great LabVIEW 2010 Links

[Laura Arnold]

Curious about the newest version of NI LabVIEW? Whether you were able to attend Tuesday's user group meeting or not, you should check out the following links. They provide a wealth of information about LabVIEW 2010 and its new/improved features.

LabVIEW 2010 New Features

If you missed the most recent user group meeting but would still like a rundown of all of LabVIEW 2010's new features, this page provides an in-depth look at everything from compiler optimizations to packed project libraries. If you're not in the mood to read, you can watch the webcast instead.

LabVIEW 2010 Performance Update

Each new version of LabVIEW provides the latest features to  make you more productive, offers access to new technologies, and  delivers fixes to existing issues in the product. All of this affects  the LabVIEW compiler and can cause the machine code that the compiler  generates to change. This document examines key  changes in LabVIEW 2010, the results you can expect from these changes,  and methods to improve the performance of your LabVIEW applications.

LabVIEW Compiler: Under the Hood
This document introduces the LabVIEW compiler, briefly explains  its evolution starting in 1986 with LabVIEW 1.0, and describes its current form. Additionally, it explores recent compiler innovations and  highlights the advantages of these new features to the LabVIEW  architecture and to you.

Timing and Synchronization in LabVIEW
Timing is an essential element to all test, control, and design  applications and should be a key consideration in any system. Timing and  synchronization technologies correlate events in time, which is  necessary to perform coordinated activities. For software to orchestrate  these coordinated activities, the program needs to be synchronized and  have a concept of time. NI LabVIEW software has timing constructs  inherent to the language that you can use to synchronize your software  within your system.
