Jayaram Pillai, Managing Director for India, Russia & Arabia, NI, received the award which recognizes the growing popularity and high quality and efficiency of the LabVIEW graphical programming environment in India, at the Fifth Annual EFY Awards ceremony held recently in New Delhi. The event was presided by Salman Khurshid, former minister of state of external affairs in Government of India, and head of the Uttar Pradesh Congress Committee.

NI LabVIEW emerged the winner from amongst other competing software such as Matlab, Mentor Graphics, Synopsis and OrCAD. “Just over 20 years ago, we set out on a quest to do for test and measurement what the spreadsheet had done for financial analysis,” said Pillai. “The result was LabVIEW -- a graphical programming environment that has stood the test of time for test and measurement applications and gone on to become a graphical system design tool for designing and prototyping complex systems for deployment in electronics and industrial applications.”

Over the last 20 years NI LabVIEW has revolutionized the development of scalable test, measurement and control applications. It is used in a wide variety of applications and serves a diverse set of industries including automotive, aerospace, electronics, communications, manufacturing, and more. Its ease of use is evident from the breadth of its usage - from programming of a LEGO MINDSTORMS by a 10-year old to programming the biggest physics experiment in the world conducted by CERN, the world’s largest particle physics laboratory.
