What Exactly Is LabVIEW,and What Can It Do for Me?
准确地说,什么是LabVIEW,它又能为我做什么呢?
LabVIEW,short for Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench,is a programming environment in which you create programs using a graphical notation (connecting functional nodes via wires through which data flows); in this regard,it differs from traditional programming languages like C,C++,or Java,in which you program with text.However,LabVIEW is much more than a programming language.It is an interactive program development and execution system designed for people,like scientists and engineers,who need to program as part of their jobs.The LabVIEW development environment works on computers running Windows,Mac OS X,or Linux.LabVIEW can create programs that run on those platforms,as well as Microsoft Pocket PC,Microsoft Windows CE,Palm OS,and a variety of embedded platforms,including Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs),Digital Signal Processors (DSPs),and microprocessors.
LabVIEW是Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench的英文缩写,它是一种图形化的编程环境,使用图形化的符号来创建程序（通过连线把函数节点连接起来,数据就是在这些连线上流动的）；在 这点上,它不同于传统的文本编程语言像C,C++,或者Java.然而,LabVIEW不仅仅是一种编程语言,它是专门为那些工作中需要大量编程的工程师和科学家们设计的一种交互式的程序程开发和执行的系 统.LabVIEW开发环境可以工作在装有Windows,Mac OS X,或Linu任何一种操作系统的计算机上.LabVIEW创建的程序可以在上述平台上运行,同时也可以运行于Microsoft Pocket PC,Microsoft Windows CE,Palm OS和大量的嵌入式平台,包括现场可编程门阵列(FPGAs),数字信号处理器（DSPs）和微处理器.
Using the very powerful graphical programming language that many LabVIEW users affectionately call "G" (for graphical),LabVIEW can increase your productivity by orders of magnitude.Programs that take weeks or months to write using conventional programming languages can be completed in hours using LabVIEW because it is specifically designed to take measurements,analyze data,and present results to the user.And because LabVIEW has such a versatile graphical user interface and is so easy to program with,it is also ideal for simulations,presentation of ideas,general programming,or even teaching basic programming concepts.
许多使用功能强大的图形化编程语言LabVIEW的用户亲切的称之为“G”语言（取自graphical）,LabVIEW能够让你的开发效率提高 几个数量级.使用传统语言可能需要几周或者几个月才能完成的程序,如果用LabVIEW编写,几个小时就能完成,其中一个原因是LabVIEW是专为用户 设计的,用来进行测量,分析数据和显示结果.另一个原因是LabVIEW有丰富的图形化用户接口（GUI）,使用这些接口使编程变得很容易.它也非常适合 用来进行仿真,表述思想,编写一般程序,或者讲述基本编程概念.
