Mathematica Link for LabVIEW, a new technical computing
application created by BetterVIEW Consulting, is now available.
This software bridges National Instruments LabVIEW graphical
development environment and Wolfram Research Mathematica
technical computing software to help engineers and scientists
more easily acquire and analyze measurements throughout all
phases of the design process.
Mathematica Link for LabVIEW combines the data acquisition,
analysis, and graphical user interface capabilities of LabVIEW
and the modeling and analysis algorithms of Mathematica to speed
development of custom applications in hundreds of industries,
from quantum mechanics to automotive. With this software,
engineers can control a LabVIEW application (Virtual Instrument
or VI) from Mathematica or access Mathematica from within a
LabVIEW VI.
Mathematica Link for LabVIEW features built-in, high-level
functions for creating a communication path between LabVIEW and
Mathematica to achieve seamless integration throughout the
design flow, from the first mathematical model to validating the
final design. For example, engineers and scientists can easily
send numeric computations to the Mathematica kernel and return
results to LabVIEW, visualize LabVIEW data using native
Mathematica data visualization functions, and create simple, yet
flexible simulation and control VIs that take advantage of the
symbolic programming capabilities of Mathematica.
Integrating two leading technical computing systems like
Mathematica and LabVIEW brings technical professionals one step
closer to having the ideal, start-to-finish work environment.
With Mathematica Link for LabVIEW, entirely new, hybrid
workflows become possible, thus enabling users to quickly and
easily find solutions to complex problems--solutions that would
be difficult, if not impossible, to realize using only one of
the component packages.
Mathematica Link for LabVIEW requires Mathematica 4.1 or later
and LabVIEW 6i or later, and is available for Windows and
Macintosh platforms. For more information about Mathematica Link
