Title: DSP SYSTEM DESIGN USING LABVIEW AND SIMULINK: A COMPARATIVE EVALUATION
Authors: Nasser Kehtarnavaz, Chandan Gope, University of Texas, Dallas, United States
Abstract: LabVIEW and Simulink are two most widely used graphical programming environments for designing digital signal processing (DSP) systems. Unlike conventional text-based programming languages, such as C and MATLAB, graphical programming involves block-based code development, allowing a more efficient mechanism to build and analyze DSP systems. This paper presents a comparative evaluation between LabVIEW and Simulink in terms of a number of ease-of-use and functionality criteria. Twenty students taking a senior undergraduate DSP lab course were asked to perform the evaluation. The students’ responses indicate that these two graphical environments provide more or less the same design features with LabVIEW having an edge over Simulink as far as graphical display/visualization and DSP hardware integration tools are concerned.
