Advantages of early adoption of LabVIEW as industry-standard software in academia
For many years now MATLAB has been considered the academia standard when it comes to technical computing and simulation. Many university and college courses rely on multiple tool-boxes and ad-dons that MATLAB provides. With its relatively simple syntax, and large user community it has been, for so many years, a logical choice for academia. However, more often than not, students fresh out of university have been facing a new software that has very quickly become an industry standard in many areas of electrical engineering. On a simple example of DC motor control, this paper aims to showcase advantages of early adoption and using LabViewfor programming and simulation purposes in academia.
