The latest version of LabVIEW NXG for smarter testing
As a supplier committed to empowering engineers and scientists with innovative solutions for the world’s most complex engineering challenges, National Instruments (NI) has announced the release of LabVIEW NXG, the next-generation engineering system design software. This new version enables engineers to test smarter by quickly setting up instruments, customizing tests to match device specifications, and viewing measurements across any device through a web browser.
This latest release introduces several key features that deliver long-term value, particularly for engineers working on automated test and measurement systems. One of the most notable additions is WebVI, a powerful tool for creating web-based user interfaces (UIs) that can be accessed from any browser—whether on a PC, tablet, or smartphone—without the need for plugins or installers. To streamline hardware configuration, the new SystemDesigner feature automatically detects connected devices, displays installed drivers, and links directly to available NI and third-party instrument drivers when necessary.
LabVIEW NXG now supports thousands of benchtop instruments as well as high-performance PXI modular instruments from NI. It also includes advanced programming capabilities such as object-oriented programming and seamless integration with TestStand, the industry-leading test management software. These enhancements make it easier than ever to develop, deploy, and manage sophisticated testing environments.
Moreover, LabVIEW NXG is designed to work seamlessly with existing LabVIEW applications, eliminating the need for extensive code rewrites. The new package manager interface uses industry-standard formats, allowing engineers to reuse test code—whether written in LabVIEW NXG or traditional LabVIEW—across projects.
Brian Hoover, a Test Software Architect at Samsung SDI, shared his experience: “With LabVIEW and LabVIEW NXG, I can use both versions simultaneously and leverage the strengths of each. With this new release, I can integrate modern techniques into my existing LabVIEW applications, display data using vector-based UI graphics on the desktop, or share it securely through a browser, making report generation more efficient.â€
For over 30 years, NI has focused on advancing software solutions to support engineering innovation. This update continues the company’s commitment to rapid releases aimed at expanding development capabilities—from design to testing. Whether you're a first-time LabVIEW user or a long-time member, you'll receive the latest LabVIEW NXG along with LabVIEW 2017. From simple data acquisition tasks to building complex test systems and smart machines, LabVIEW helps reduce time-to-market and boost engineering productivity.
