Experience LabVIEW 2013

Yesterday I have download and experience LabVIEW 2013 trial version. Here I will show my experiences.

After download the LabVIEW 2013 trial package, you'll be surprised at the package size.

Oh, My God! 1.37GB. LabVIEW package is becoming mush and more fat!

Decompress the package ,then install is started.

Very familiar, isn't it?

It seems that something new added. Yes, it's "VIPM 2013"!

About half an hour, the install progress went to 98%. I wait long time to continue, but it stopped here. Very anxious! So I had to press Alt+Ctl+Del to call "Windows Task Manager" to terminal it. Damn it!

I thought the installing failed, so I prepared to reinstall it.

Very anxious! So I also had to press Alt+Ctl+Del to call "Windows Task Manager" to terminal it. Damn it twice!

May be this is a bug of installing in labVIEW 2013.

However, I found its shortcut is already on the desktop, so I thought it might be OK. The fact ensured my guess!

First, cast a glance at the new "MAX" icon below.

Then I started LabVIEW 2013 main application.

The main UI is the same as labVIEW 2012.

Trial expired period is 7 days. Feel short? so try it immediately!

Here are something new when compared with LabVIEW 2012.

Add-on toolkit combined with VIPM conveniently.

Function panel added some new function.

A new tool for investigating event.

Mouse scroll event has been added to most of internal controls.

Free text labels can drag its arrow to build relationships with wires.

At last, I found the help documentation is build at 2013.6.
