When to use c / python instead of LabVIEW

I was recently asked when you use python/c and not of LabVIEW.

As someone who has worked with LabVIEW Kool for awhile I found difficult to answer as it seems to be very few restrictions to what labVIEW can achieve.

LabVIEW is obviously ideal for test of manufacturing, control systems, rapid prototyping systems, develop ideas, and I even used to generate executables to decrypt the data of wireshark, editing MySQL databases, programs of encryption, etc..

However, in my head at the following spring to mind that could impose a project to lean towards python.

1 development license (free vs. paid)

2 drive - engine labVIEW run requires a lot of space

3 MCU / smart phones, in particular, could benefit from C / python / Java supported

Recently, I worked in a company where all R & D product development and manufacturing was done through LabVIEW but regression testing has been done through python. Truth is, I probably could have implemented the regression test in LabVIEW but generally those working environments hose int will use PHP / Python or similar and it is easier to hire a team on that basis.

I do not putting down LabVIEW rather try to honestly answer a customer's question.  Any OE ideas to answer the question?

I think I can put it the way the shortest is: LabVIEW is best suited to the intervention of material.

Yes, you can write a small application of office in LabVIEW... but the obligation to install the runtime (which can be quite slow), it is difficult to create a 'portable' application (there are a lot of workarounds... but still). I don't see why even a simple "Hello World" executable should force hundreds of MB of installation.

I saw a lot of posts here who have spoken of creating applications to manage data in a database (for example a stock inventory system), or run an executable LabVIEW on a server to act as a server web - Yes, you can use LabVIEW to do these things, but there are other tools that seem much more appropriate (e.g. Apache/IIS and PHP/ASP) - essentially a nice web front end - I also have the same feeling about creating something to review test data - I think that this must be done in a more suitable tool (e.g. a web front end so anyone can access it without the need of RTÉ).

The cost of the development license is there, Yes (but not for deployment) but it is easier to justify when it is just a small part of a test/measurement system expensive. I also don't really think that the use of the disc is so important nowadays with space being so cheap HARD drive to.

I feel LabVIEWs strengths are its ability to allow no computer to write their own code to run tests (for example a DAQ in LabVIEW System prototyping takes minutes... how long take in C if you had never used before C?) for new users and allow advanced users (LabVIEW Professional) to create test/measure/search systems much more quickly they could start from scratch in C etc.

  • Is there a way to simplify the addition of data in the worksheet when you use a .csv instead of a .xlsx?

    I changed one of the newbies ActiveX toolkits provided by Joe_H to enter a number in a spreadsheet by using the following code 'save to existing Spreadsheet.vi.  However, since it was designed for a .xlsx, it uses an entry for the index of the sheet (that I set to 1 when you use my .csv file).  Currently, the program works, but I was wondering if there is a way to remove the index sheet part.  I tried to just delete, but I could not find how connections for refnums etc. should then work out.  Thanks for any advice, even if it's just to say that nothing major should be done.

    I don't think that there is a much easier way to do what you want then the code you provided.

    Hi OskarKvist,

    This feature is not supported by Windows XP.

    However, you can use your favorite search engine to download any third-party software that could serve the purpose.

    Note: Using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    To turn off BitComet:

    - or - the right mouse click on the icon in the system tray and select stop all tasks from the context menu.

    Permanently:

    Go to control Panel\Programs and features and select uninstall.

    It might be convenient to change the option and not BitComet starts automatically at Windows startup. With BitComet running, go to Tools Options integrations and uncheck automatically start...

    Just out of curiosity: How does BitComet interferes with the simple download of Windows?

  • Since last week, when I have several windows open in firefox, the pages back and forth between windows open by themselves. This does not happen when I use tabs instead of windows, however.

    window 1: gmail (example only)
    window 2: facebook for some company (example only)
    I will review my email and the screen suddenly changes the Facebook to say P & G for example.
    If I tab1 as gmail, tab2 as facebook P & G, it won't happen.
    And it only happens in Mozilla Firefox. When I use IE, that's fine.

    What Windows platform should not make a big difference. The screenshot may appear as coming from an older version of Windows, but the basics should be the same.

    If this does not work in mode without failure, then disable all extensions and then try to find out who is the cause by allowing both the problem reappears.

    • Choose "Disable all add-ons" on issues to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode to set window to disable all extensions.

  • How to disable direct sound when you use a plugin for guitar?

    I use the Waves GTR plugin for recording guitar in Logic Pro X, but because it puts a lot of pressure on the CPU, I tried he governs through a "bus" instead of having the plugin separately on every guitar track. The difference is that when I use the bus option, I can't seem to get rid of dry direct sound which is obviously very embarrassing. The only way for me to get rid of the direct sound is to use the RTM plugin on every guitar track that quickly causes the overload program when using several of these titles.

    Anyone know how to get rid of the direct sound when you use the alternative of bus for the guitar tracks?

    just at the exit of the guitar channel strip no output. This way you won't hear at the follow (because the dry track will not be transmitted to any output)

  • I like to use my speakers instead of always put in my ear. How to turn the volume of the speaker on the iPhone OS?

    I have an iPhone SE I would use the speaker instead of always put the phone to my ear, but the volume is not good at all on the speaker. Is there a way to increase the volume for the speaker?

    You would turn the volume for the speaker during a call speaker. The volume buttons control different aspects of the volume, such as the ringing, the music, the volume of the speaker during a call. You change certain volumes based on what you happen to be in time. When you first unlock the phone and are simply looking at the home screen, if you press the volume buttons then, you set the ring volume. Change the speaker volume when in a call of the speaker, is that in the call itself, just like changing the volume of the earpiece, that while in the call.
