LabVIEW is a graphical programming language for developing diverse applications in a multitude of industries. The block diagram provides a unique form of source code expression that is dissimilar to most programming languages and development environments. The data flow paradigm represents the program as wires, terminals, structures, and nodes rich with functionality and innovation. LabVIEW extends this innovation to the developer, providing tremendous freedom of expression and creativity. As such, there are many means to an end, or possible development styles, with LabVIEW.
