Original post:
We are investigating whether to continue use and development of
LabView within out system. I've been asked to see if there are other
products out there that offer the same kind of functionality as
LabView. Does anyone know of any? I came onto this project part way
through so I don't know why LabView was chosen to start with. I know
of Vlab from Mentor but what about others? are they good, better,
worse or the same?
Thanks
Subsequent post:
I'd like to thank all the people that responded. It seems that I should
probably clarify what it is that I'm looking for.
We're currently using Labview for remote lab control in a training capacity.
Students log into the system, complete some exercises and then log off. The
instructor sho
uld be able to review the labs and generate reports based on a
few different criteria to pass on to the appropriate management. The
students should be able to schedule a block of time and it should be
browser independent so students can access from anywhere, at anytime. This
is a pretty high level overiew but should give the idea.
As to why LabVIEW was chosen, I don't actually know. I've come on this
project quite a while after the fact. We need to be able to integrate with
our DMS (Delivery Management System). I'm not sure all the details as I'm
not an engineer. Management is concerned if LabVIEW will meet expectations
going forward or if another product will do better.
What I'm looking for is a (hopefully) unbiased opinion. I didn't realize
this redirected to/from the NI website. I've posted this to a newsgroup.
Amway, I was hoping to get some feedback on why people chose Labview as
opposed to a product like Vlab.
Thanks,
Tore
