National Instruments’ (NI) LabVIEW 2018 (Fig. 1) was just one of many new product announcements at this year’s NI Week. LabVIEW 2018 adds a number of new features including support for Python.

This allows for integration with third-party tools that support Python. LabVIEW NXG 3.0, in beta right now, includes Python support. FlexLogger addresses a common LabVIEW use: data logging.
