  1. LABVIEW as a Beamline Graphical User Interface (GUI) ? Can it provide the functionality we are looking for ? Is it worth the cost? Labview Developer = $4,295 USD

  2. LABVIEW as a GUI ? LABVIEW is software development environment geared toward; 1. Hardware interfacing and communications 2. Data Analysis 3. Data Display and User interface development Also has 1. Software Source Control 2. Remote viewing or control through the web.

  3. LABVIEW as a GUI ? LABVIEW hardware interfacing and communications;1. NI have a massive database of compatible hardware drivers.2. Capability may be useful in the future. ?3. TCP/IP, UDP, RS-232, RS-485, IrA, .NET, ActiveX, DLL, C, Events.4. Several Channel Access (EPICS) solutions exist for LABVIEW. A) Active X, Kay-Uwe Kasemir LANL B) Channel Access Client, Willem Blokland SLAC. C) Use C++/DLL and read/write direct to CA

  4. LABVIEW as a GUI ? Data Analysis1. Hundreds of data analysis tools.2. Available categories are; a) Measurement (Amplitude, Spectral, etc) b) Signal Processing (Time/Freq Domain, etc) c) Mathematics d) Image Processing e) Control (Fuzzy Logic, PID)

  5. LABVIEW as a GUI ? Data Display and User Interface 1. Graphical development of software 2. Can get messy
