LabVIEW 8.0.1

—Available in all labs
—Look under Applications Science & Engineering LabVIEW

LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) is a graphical programming language that uses icons instead of lines of text to create applications. In contrast to text-based programming languages, where instructions determine the order of program execution, LabVIEW uses dataflow programming, where the flow of data through the nodes on the block diagram determines the execution order of the VIs and functions. VIs, or virtual instruments, are LabVIEW programs that imitate physical instruments.

In LabVIEW, you build a user interface by using a set of tools and objects. The user interface is known as the front panel. You then add code using graphical representations of functions to control the front panel objects. This graphical source code is also known as G code or block diagram code. The block diagram contains this code. In some ways, the block diagram resembles a flowchart.

As an added bonus Link Checker also displays all links that are redirected just in case a web site is moved.

Multiple Web Sites
Unlike comparable products, Link Checker allows you to remember settings for an unlimited number of web sites. The web sites list shows you the URL of the scan page and the last report date with basic details.

Find All Your Links with Regular Expressions
Link Checker has a plugin system that allows you to tell Link Checker to look within certain formatting to find all your links. This plugin system is based on regular expression searching. For example, if you had some custom javascript code that loaded some rollover buttons then you could create a plugin to check the links from within your javascript code.
