Here are some reasons to visit the NI website more often...as I'm disseminating "old" news. 😉
Good News: NI offers a "Community" edition for LabVIEW. It's FREE -- as long as its intended only for noncommercial and nonacademic use! See here for downlink details
Bad News: NI is ceasing development efforts on LabVIEW NXG, and the last release is NXG 5.1. Some NXG features will migrate to LabVIEW, and others will be integrated into other parts of NI's software portfolio. See here for details (thx to user SLD for the heads up).
