How to consume National Instruments data with Quix
abVIEW is widely used across automotive, aerospace, and industrial R&D for real-time test automation, data acquisition, and control. From simple measurement applications to complex multi-instrument test campaigns, LabVIEW provides a graphical programming environment trusted by engineers worldwide for high-frequency data collection and signal processing.
Quix is a Python-first platform for industrial data management that enables test engineers to:
- Ingest measurement and control data from LabVIEW applications
- Normalize and enrich sensor data with test configuration metadata
- Process time-series data in real-time with custom Python transformations
- Store test data centrally in a queryable data lakehouse
- Compare experiments and validate models faster
Quix integrates with LabVIEW through a Python bridge architecture. LabVIEW's native Python Node support (LabVIEW 2018+) executes a local Python script that handles HTTP communication to Quix's HTTP API Source. Measurements are automatically associated with test configurations and stored centrally—eliminating the manual data export workflows that typically delay R&D cycles.
