Choosing Your Programming Software
When programming your National Instruments measurement hardware, 
you can use either National Instruments application software or another 
application development environment (ADE).
National Instruments Application Software 
LabVIEW and LabVIEW RT feature interactive graphics, a state-of-the-art 
user interface, and a powerful graphical programming language. The 
LabVIEW Data Acquisition Virtual Instrument (VI) Library, a series of 
virtual instruments for using LabVIEW with National Instruments DAQ 
hardware, is included with LabVIEW. The LabVIEW Data Acquisition 
VI Library is functionally equivalent to the NI-DAQ API.
As with LabVIEW, you develop your LabVIEW RT applications 
with graphical programming, then download the program to run on 
an independent hardware target with a real-time operating system. 
LabVIEW RT allows you to use the 6533 digital DAQ devices in two 
different configurations: PCI/PXI-7030/6533 devices, and PXI-6533 
devices in PXI systems being controlled in real time by LabVIEW RT.
Measurement Studio, which includes LabWindows/CVI, tools for Visual 
C++, and tools for Visual Basic, is a development suite that allows you to 
use ANSI C, Visual C++, and Visual Basic to design your test and 
measurement software. For C developers, Measurement Studio includes 
LabWindows/CVI, a fully integrated ANSI C application development 
environment that features interactive graphics and the LabWindows/CVI 
Data Acquisition and Easy I/O libraries. For Visual Basic developers, 
Measurement Studio features a set of ActiveX controls for using National 
Instruments DAQ hardware. These ActiveX controls provide a high-level 
programming interface for building virtual instruments. For Visual C++ 
developers, Measurement Studio offers a set of Visual C++ classes and 
tools to integrate those classes into Visual C++ applications. The libraries, 
ActiveX controls, and classes are available with Measurement Studio and 
the NI-DAQ software.
VirtualBench features virtual instruments that combine DAQ products, 
software, and your computer to create a stand-alone instrument with the 
added benefits of the processing, display, and storage capabilities of your 
computer. VirtualBench instruments load and save waveform data to disk 
in the same forms that can be used in popular spreadsheet programs and 
word processors.
