Re: Windriver? Labview? Both?

Although it's a bit strange at first when you're used to text programming, I'm for LabVIEW all the way. I love the ability to change constants with the front panel w/o redownloading and using probes, it makes debugging so much easier.

C/C++ is certainly more efficient but when we're using a controller as powerful as the cRIO and only have six weeks I think LabVIEW is the way to go. Graphical programming languages are becoming more and more common as hardware becomes more powerful.
