Engineers and scientists face an ever-increasing challenge: to design, prototype and test products and deploy systems in less time and at lower cost than even before. The graphical system design paradigm enables you to shorten the time it takes you to design, prototype and deploy systems by integrating the phases of the development cycle. Whether you have to design or test the latest electronic devices, build the next generation machine or utilise the latest embedded targets, you need to know how to integrate diverse software tools and I/O and quickly leverage the latest commercial technologies. This presentation discusses the latest innovations: MathScript (textual maths); graphical object-oriented programming; the Library Import Wizard; data storage and mining; the FPGA Programming Wizard; and enhanced distributed functionality.
