LabVIEW Embraces Graphical Object-Oriented Programming

摘要

To mark the 20th anniversary of LabVIEW, along comes LabVIEW 8.20 replete with object-oriented support. If the original LabVIEW is C, LabVIEW 8.20 is C++. It's a superset based upon the original virtual-instrument (Ⅵ) methodology developed 20 years ago. LabVIEW is also one of the few graphical programming languages standing alongside UML (Universal Modeling Language) and Matlab's Simulink. Each language offers a distinctive approach and purpose, as well as its own terminology.
