What are the New Features in Labview 2024?

The key new features in LabVIEW 2024 include:

Zoom for Block Diagram – LabVIEW 2023 Q3 introduced the ability to zoom in and out of the block diagram, making it easier to navigate and work with complex diagrams.[1][4]

Quick Change for faster object creation – LabVIEW 2023 Q3 added a “quick change” feature that allows users to quickly create and modify objects on the block diagram.[4]

Double-click to edit – LabVIEW 2023 Q3 added the ability to double-click on objects to quickly edit them.[4]

Expanded VI Package Manager (VIPM) features – LabVIEW 2023 Q3 included a collaboration with JKI to expand the functionality and robustness of the VIPM tool for managing LabVIEW code libraries and packages.[4]

Addition of JKI Dragon – LabVIEW 2023 Q3 integrated the JKI Dragon tool into the Project Explorer, providing developers with additional resources and tools for working with LabVIEW projects and packages.[4]

However, some users have expressed disappointment with the relatively small number of new features in LabVIEW 2024, with one forum post stating “We can write the complete list of its new features on a single post-it note!!!”[3] There are also concerns about a lack of focus on bug fixes and version compatibility compared to new features.[3]
