LabVIEW Platform through I-STEM for academic researchers

In News 
  • For the first time in the country, academic users in India will have free access to the Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench (LabVIEW) software suite - a system-design platform and development environment for a visual programming language.
Features of LabVIEW 
  • The Indian Science Technology and Engineering facilities Map (I-STEM), the national web portal for sharing research equipment/facilities, and National Instruments Inc., headquartered in Austin, TX, USA, entered into a collaborative arrangement to enable this free access to the platform.
  • LabVIEW uses a graphic interface that enables different elements to be joined together to provide the required flow and runs on Windows, OS X (Apple), and Linux Operating systems, making it suitable for most computing systems.
  • The software suite is hosted on the cloud server established by the I-STEM to provide user-friendly access from anywhere in India.
  • The arrangement is expected to assist many students and researchers in the country, especially those in the more remote and less-endowed institutions, thereby enhancing learning outcomes and promoting R&D efforts across India.
I-STEM 
  • I-STEM (www.istem.gov.in) is an initiative by the Scientists of the Indian Institute of Science Bangalore supported by the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Govt. of India under the PM-STIAC mission.
  • The portal hosts the database of facilities across India so that a researcher desirous of using any of them can search for the same and make a booking online for using it. 
  • The portal also features a Digital Catalogue of indigenously developed technologies and products.
  • I-STEM also hosts the platform for the various City Knowledge and Innovation Clusters, to enhance R&D collaboration and skill development across the country.
