About LabWindows/CVI
The LabWindows/CVI ANSI C integrated programming environment helps you create custom engineering applications. You can use it to manage your project, edit and debug source code, build a user interface, and test code output and performance in one streamlined, tabbed workspace. LabWindows/CVI includes tools for advanced debugging, code documentation, and system deployment so you can integrate source code control, requirements, and data management systems. The software also makes it easier to quickly acquire data from GPIB, USB, serial, Ethernet, PXI, VXI, and FPGA instruments using the built-in instrument I/O libraries, built-in instrument drivers, or the two interactive measurement assistants. LabWindows/CVI provides an all in one work environment for ANSI C development to create test and measurement applications.

InstrumentStudio
InstrumentStudio helps you to unify your display, export instrument configurations for a higher level starting point, and monitor and debug your automated test system. You can view data on unified displays with large, high-resolution monitors, and then capture multi-instrument screenshots and measurement results. Save project-level configurations for easier test repeatability with specific devices under test, or export instrument configurations to programming environments or directly to TestStand to simplify your code and parametric sweeps. You can also use InstrumentStudio in parallel with your code to monitor and debug running test applications. InstrumentStudio provides an integrated environment for instrument configuration that both simplifies quick, interactive measurements and augments automated production test systems.
