LabVIEW on Linux

Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) is a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language from National Instruments. The graphical language is named "G"; not to be confused with G-code. Originally released for the Apple Macintosh in 1986, LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of operating systems (OSs), including Microsoft Windows, various versions of Unix, Linux, and macOS. The latest versions of LabVIEW are LabVIEW 2017 and LabVIEW NXG 1.0, released in May 2017. == Dataflow programming == The programming paradigm used in LabVIEW, sometimes called G, is a based on data availability. If there is enough data available to a subVI or function that subVI or function will execute. Execution flow is determined by the structure of a graphical block diagram (the LabVIEW-source code) on which the programmer connects different function-nodes by drawing wires.
