Many students of engineering and those in related fields of employment often use LabVIEW software by National Instruments, as this provides a graphical programming platform for various technical solutions from data capture, insturment control, automating test and much more. Along with the other features one can also harness an Arduino for integration into a LabVIEW application.
This hasn't been the easiest of processes, however thanks to Instructables member Deyson has created a simple example which includes installation and some code to create a temperature sensing-device with an Arduino and temperature sensor. All the code is included for download and you'll be up and running in no time.
