Overview
The Biomedical Startup Kit is an add-on palette to LabVIEW designed for those interested in the fields of life science and biomedical engineering. It offers an easy-to-use API for programming some of the more common tasks in LabVIEW, as well as functions commonly used in biomedical science laboratories.

The palette includes subVIs for acquiring and logging data, controlling laboratory instruments, processing biomedical images and signals, and using text-based programming tools commonly employed in processing biomedical data. Of particular interest to some users is the Simulate ECG Signal Express VI bundled in the palette.

A number of features of the Biomedical Startup Kit palette lend themselves to getting users of LabVIEW up and running quickly. One novel feature of the palette is the Shell VI, which allows dropping an entire DAQmx programming model onto the block diagram with a single click. For more information on how to build custom Shell VIs and create and distribute custom LabVIEW palettes, see the following tutorials.
The kit is available for LabVIEW versions 8.2 and 8.5 for Windows.
