National Instruments also offers [[Measurement Studio]], a product that offers many of the test, measurement, and control abilities of LabVIEW as a set of classes for use with [[Microsoft]] [[Visual Studio]]. This allows developers to harness some of LabVIEW's strengths within the text-based [[.NET Framework]]. National Instruments also offers [[LabWindows/CVI]] as an alternative for ANSI C programmers.

When applications need sequencing, users often use LabVIEW with the National Instruments ''TestStand'' test management software.

The [[Ch interpreter]] is a [[C (programming language)|C]]/[[C++]] interpreter that can be embedded in LabVIEW for scripting.<ref name="chlabview">{{cite web|url=http://iel.ucdavis.edu/projects/chlabview/|title=Embedding a C/C++ Interpreter Ch into LabVIEW for Scripting|website=iel.ucdavis.edu|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110515065700/http://iel.ucdavis.edu/projects/chlabview/|archive-date=2011-05-15}}</ref>

DSP Robotics' FlowStone DSP also uses a form of graphical programming similar to LabVIEW but is limited to the robotics industry.

LabVIEW has a direct node with [[modeFRONTIER]], a multidisciplinary and multi-objective optimization and design environment, written to allow coupling to almost any [[computer-aided engineering]] tool. Both can be part of the same process workflow description and can be virtually driven by the optimization technologies available in modeFRONTIER.
