- LabVIEW is a graphical programming language by National Instruments.
- It's main purpose is to control automatic measurement systems. But you
- can use it also for file format conversions or simple calculations
- like this Fibonacci stuff.
-
- The 3 pictures in this directory show you the main steps of FastFibo
- in LabVIEW-code: calculation, conversion to ASCII and filesaving.
-
- Fib_0 shows the calculation loop. It's the same as in FastFibo V1.3,
- just some fine tuning for speed.
-
- Fib_1 shows the ASCII-conversion and calculation of the number of
- digits.
-
- Picture Fib_2 shows the formatting and saving of the output file.
-
- After using LabVIEW for over 3 years I'm really like it for it's
- simplicity and programming style. Despite the graphical programming
- LabVIEW is really fast: this fibonacci-program is faster (on an Athlon550)
- than FastFibo on a MC68030/50! Constant is about 5.4 ns (compare with
- FastFibo.guide:Timings).

- I can also send you this or other VI's (LabVIEW-equivalent to source-files).
