Software applications are limitless but needs better incorporation for hardcoding.

Application Area:

Developing an Integrated Avionics Test System

It can be used to beyond this scope. Since it's an ANSI C IDE, you can use it like a regular IDE tool for simple C projects. If you find yourself stuck in a lab where NI software is a mandate, look for CVI. Last I checked CVI was still included with the highest license level of Labview. NI keeps it hushed, I think because it looks like circa 1999 Microsoft MFC. LabWindows/CVI lets you circumvent arbitrary and capricious requirements to use clunky software when Microsoft publishes a perfectly usable, completely free version of C#. The traditional error-code scheme really lacks the ability for the program to pass important error information in details, and hence, hampers the debug efforts when things fail. C++'s exception handling really helps simplifying the error handling and retains the failure details. The OOP feature can simplify the coding structure and complexity, making the codes more intuitive and readable. I wished that LabWindows/CVI can be upgraded to a C++ IDE/compiler. If for some reason some people just wanted the pure C features, the C++ compiler can always be restricted into the C-only mode.
