Four Great LabVIEW 2010 Links

[Laura Arnold]

Curious about the newest version  of NI LabVIEW? Whether you were able to attend Thursday'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.
