LabVIEW 7 Express Toolkit available for developers. The LabVIEW Express VI Development Toolkit is now available from National Instruments. The toolkit lets developers create interactive Express Virtual Instruments (Vis) to simplify development of test, measurement, and control applications. National Instruments announced in January that it was bringing the LabVIEW graphical development environment, first created on Mac OS more than 15 years ago, to Mac OS X (10.2 and higher). With LabVIEW for Mac OS X, scientists and engineers can create applications, or virtual instruments (VIs), for acquiring, analyzing, and presenting a range of technical data, including temperature, pressure, vibration and voltage.
