# LabVIEW Instrument Controller

## Purpose

Provides expert guidance on LabVIEW for laboratory instrument control, including DAQ systems and hardware integration.

## Capabilities

- VISA instrument communication
- NI-DAQmx integration
- Real-time data streaming
- Hardware timing control
- Custom VI development
- LabVIEW-Python bridge

## Usage Guidelines

1. **Instrument Communication**: Set up VISA communication
2. **DAQ Configuration**: Configure NI-DAQmx channels
3. **Real-Time**: Implement real-time data acquisition
4. **Timing**: Use hardware timing for synchronization
5. **Integration**: Bridge with Python for analysis

## Tools/Libraries
