Pick LabVIEW if…
LabVIEW suits engineers building automated test and measurement applications, especially when they need instrument connectivity, analysis and a control interface. The Community Edition is limited to personal, non-commercial, non-industrial use.
Pick LTspice if…
LTspice suits engineers and circuit designers who need schematic capture and analog circuit simulation. Its model libraries, import support, and tutorials also suit users working with third-party SPICE models.
