On April 3, the French TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) broke its own world speed record for the fastest conventional train in the world, clocking a staggering 357 mph under test conditions with a shortened train (two power cars and three passenger cars).
During the record-breaking attempt, LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI were used inside the TGV to measure about 160 temperature channels coming from wheel shafts, and acquire data coming from the FIP bus. LabVIEW was used as a data server, collecting data while LabWindows/CVI was used for the HMI, creating and displaying objects dynamically.
This video, which aired on French television, shows the record breaking run and about 10 seconds in you can (very briefly) see the LabWindows screenshots in the control room.

I'm using Labview in a production environment. After reading your post, should I use Labview for data collection and then Labview/CVI for updating the screen? Is this a better combination than just Labview for reading from sensors and writing to screen graphs?
