Creating Quality UIs with NI LabVIEW 1
First of all we’ll quickly define what we mean by UI and introduce some rules, or guidelines,
that you should follow to help you create quality UIs. UI design principles are no different
in LabVIEW as they are for any other programming language and there are many good
resources available on the internet and in books; consequently we won’t spend too much
of our time here today talking about generic UI principles. Topics such as how to choose
nice colors or group like objects are important but since they are covered so well elsewhere
I will leave those as a homework assignment and spend most of our time here showing you
some techniques and features in LabVIEW which will allow you to create much better UIs
without doing too much extra work.
Finally, since LabVIEW has such a strong community of developers I’ll leave with a URL
where you can go and get some reusable UI components, as well as discuss and share your
UI‐related questions.

UI stands for user interface. It is the way your applications user gives commands and
receives feedback from your application.
For those of you who develop applications to sell, the UI is often the “cover” to your book –

whereas a sloppy UI can turn potential clients off.
A good UI makes the user’s job easier since they spend less time trying to figure out how to
complete their task (which often translates to less questions for the developer). I bet you
can name a few applications off the top of your head where an unintuitive UI makes using
that application more difficult than
