LabVIEW makes it easy to assemble components of data acquisition, test, and control systems. Because creating applications in LabVIEW is so easy, many people begin to develop VIs immediately with relatively little planning. For simple applications, such as quick lab tests or monitoring applications, this approach can be appropriate. However, for larger development projects, good project planning is vital. Project planning can help you identify a development model to follow and avoid common development problems.
