LabVIEW

Is anyone familiar with this? I was just introduced to it a few months ago and was very impressed. It's much less stressful to write and especially to read.

Comments?

 

I've never used it before or heard of it, where did you use it?

I just read up a little on it but what's your take on Labview and the G programming language based on your experience so far?

 

I'm the programmer for my school's FIRST Robotics team. FIRST is really pushing teams to pick up Labview this year and I was told to pick it up.

I'd say that the graphical layout of Labview is a lot more helpful than anyone would think, and it doesn't take away from the language at all. There are plenty of tools in the program to track where information or variables are going instead of having to use ctrl + f in thousands of lines of code.

There is also a context help window that gives a detailed description of everything. It takes away the hassle of looking through libraries for the function you're looking for.
