Labview seems like a pain (I haven't used it), but I guess it's super useful for some uses. I recall SpaceX uses it for controlling launches. It comes with models for all manner of hardware.

I really loved LabView

NI rarely made established software better after a company acquisition.

Generally, IT and Engineering agreed to deprecate their product lines off critical systems about 2 minutes after the deal went through. =3

NI has niche instrumentation product lines that have been around for some time.

Yet, the modern licensing model jettisoned a lot of their long time proponents. Like many things in life, most problems were non-technical in nature.

SpaceX is an interesting company, and it made some unique design choices. =3

It comes with device interfaces (not exactly drivers, but some times it has drivers too).

All right, I even never heard of Labview programming language, haha..

But labview is what happens when there's a project that needs hardware automation and has lots of budget but no desire to make in-house tools.

And the house already used labview the last time that happened.
