LabWindows/CVI and Measurement Studio - National Instruments

National Instruments announced the release of LabWindows/CVI 8.1.1 and Measurement Studio 8.1.1. LabWindows/CVI is an ANSI C integrated development environment.  Measurement Studio is a comprehensive suite of libraries and user interface controls for applications built using Microsoft Visual Studio. This release provide support for Windows Vista to help engineers easily transition to the newest version of the Microsoft operating system.

Tim Dehne, NI, said:

National Instruments is committed to giving engineers and scientists the tools and support they need to take advantage of the newest PC technologies and choose systems that work best for their applications…

With support for Windows Vista, LabWindows/CVI 8.1.1 and Measurement Studio 8.1.1 engineers can take advantage of the latest PC technologies to develop and deploy their .NET and ANSI C applications…

LabWindows/CVI 8.1.1 and Measurement Studio 8.1.1 function normally on the 64-bit version of Windows Vista through Microsoft compatibility technology, but engineers using this version must have 64-bit hardware drivers. National Instruments offers updated 32-bit drivers to support Windows Vista and new 64-bit hardware drivers for Windows Vista x64 Edition, the 64-bit edition of Windows Vista.

National Instruments also offers the PXI-8106, NI PXIe-8106, PXI-8105 and NI PXIe-8105 embedded controllers with Windows Vista preinstalled as the default operating system. Now, engineers using a combination of LabWindows/CVI and PXI or PXI Express for applications in industries such as aerospace and military can upgrade their entire systems to work with Windows Vista. For engineers not upgrading to Windows Vista, LabWindows/CVI and Measurement Studio continue to support Windows XP and Windows 2000.
