Data acquisition and control, data analysis, and data presentation.

Physics no longer purchases a LabVIEW site license this is due to the significant increase in license costs and National Instruments move to a annual subscription service. If you need to purchase a subscription license please contact NI directly.

Alternatively a number of groups have already moved to Python as a alternative, we would recommend installing Anaconda distribution, this allows for multiple virtual environments.
