what is the difference between LABVIEW and LABWIN/CVI?

[tzviel]

I want to take a course about one of these two softwares.

I know a little bit about LABVIEW but I know nothing about LABWIN/CVI.

What is the difference between them?
Do they have different aplications?

thanks

LabVIEW is graphical programming and LabWindows/CVI is programmiing in C. They have roughly the same capabilities. You can go to NI's products page and get a lot more information about both.

LabVIEW is a graphical programming language. It is made up of a user interface which is called the front panel and a block diagram where all the coding is done. CVI is National Instrument's C interface for virtual instrumentation. CVI includes a user interface complete with graphs, buttons, and other interface objects. However, the code is done in ANSI C. Some great features of CVI include the function panels, which provide a wizard interface for CVI functions, and code generation. CVI also easily integrates with National Instruments DAQ & GPIB devices as well as other intrument drivers.
