Building Distributed Monitoring and Control Systems With LabVIEW

When designing a system, first define what you need to accomplish. Will the system need to both control and monitor? Which unique business processes do you want to integrate into the system, for example, a purchasing database or quality tracking database? Identifying the integral processes up front is important to properly architect the system. Choosing the right tools can help you build commonly used features and achieve the flexibility to incorporate custom processes or equipment from third-party vendors. NI LabVIEW is a flexible development environment that is designed to help you easily integrate many disparate components into a complete monitoring and control system.
