Fabio mentioned the new MathScript feature of LabVIEW. MathScript offers general purpose text-based functions for signal processing and math functionality that you might find valuable.
For more specific functionality, you can extend LabVIEW with new functions for control design and analysis with the NI LabVIEW Control Design Toolkit. This Toolkit adds graphical and text-based (MathScript) functions to LabVIEW for jobs such as:
- Calculate dynamic system characteristics such as DC gain, stability, norm, root locus, and pole-zero analysis
- Analyze the frequency response of a a system model
- Simulate the dynamic response of a discrete system model
- Deploy a discrete model to a real-time target
- Implement a discrete Kalman filter
- Implement current and predictive observers
- Create linear system models and modify the properties of a system model
- Convert a system model:
- From one representation to another
- From a continuous-time to a discrete-time model
- From a discrete-time to a continuous-time model
- Obtain or set parameters, data, and names of a system model
- Perform different types of linear system interconnections
- Perform a zero-pole cancellation in transfer function and zero-pole-gain models or to reduce the number of states in state-space models
- Calculate properties of a given state-space model, such as observability, detectability, controllability, stabilizability, similarity transformations, model balance, and system grammians
- Calculate controller and observer gains for closed-loop state feedback control or to estimate a state-space model
- Configure and test state-space controllers and state estimators in time domains
- Construct, manipulate, and analyze stochastic state-space system models.
- Create generic linear simulations and time domain plots for step inputs, impulse inputs, and initial condition response
