B. Add-on Toolkits for LabVIEWYou can purchase special add-on toolkits to increase LabVIEW's functionality. In addition, new toolkits are created frequently, so if you have a particular goal, it's worthwhile to check and see if a toolkit already exists to accomplish it. Some toolkits are sold by National Instruments; others are created by third-party companies (often referred to as "Alliance members"). You can also find free, open source toolkits for LabVIEW at OpenG.org (http://openg.org). You can search for LabVIEW tools on the LabVIEW Zone Tools Network on the Web at http://ni.com/labviewtools/. The following is a list of commercial toolkits that are available from National Instruments (http://ni.com). For more information on open source toolkits, see Appendix C, "Open Source Tools for LabVIEW: OpenG." |
