[22:41:57] <exec> 08└─It depends upon what you want to do. LabVIEW is great if you have a modest setup like a temperature sensor or an A/D board, and you can be up and running very quickly. It is great for a high school or undergraduate science lab. But start throwing in more things, then it gets complicated very quickly...
