Would the built-in libraries of LabWindows CVI meet the needs of a quantitative developer?
My experience with LabWindows CVI is that its built-in libraries are more geared to instrumentation (GPIB, analog and digital I/O, motion control, and so forth) and
data display (GUI widgets like meters, sliders, switches, LEDs, simple graphs), rather
than extensive libraries of numeric, statistical, or analytic routines. The development environment that comes with Labwindows CVI is pretty decent — they have a drag-and-drop GUI building interface that makes it easy to position controls within windows and wire them up to your C code, if that matters to you.
But for your analytic needs, you might be better served with a product like Matlab or IDL, especially if your work is heavy on the plotting/visualization end of things.
If you want to stick with C, the GNU Scientific Library has a pretty extensive
set of statistical and analytic routines.
