Research publication

[LarryDante]

Hello & Good Evening to everyone,

Can i use labview software for paper publication.

Do i need to provide information to the NI before publishing the paper,

just a query as i am publishing the paper for the first time and i have used labview for software application part so will it be okay to use labview for paper publication as labview is not an open source software.

please solve my query.

I'm not sure I understand your question.  A number of us have written scientific papers describing our research, and in the Methods section, we have been known to say such things as "The stimuli were generated and the data were collected using LabVIEW (National Instruments) ..."  You can even find papers that show LabVIEW Front Panels and Block Diagrams.  As long as you are showing your code, and crediting NI for providing LabVIEW, you aren't harming NI in any way, but are providing proper acknowledgement of their contribution to your results.

But if in doubt, contact NI and/or your lawyer.
