- Description
- The Jovian VI file type, commonly denoted by the .vi extension, is associated with LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Engineering Workbench) by National Instruments. It represents a Virtual Instrument file, which is essentially a program developed within the LabVIEW graphical programming environment. VI files contain a combination of graphical representations of code alongside conventional text-based code, which together define the functionality of a virtual instrument designed to simulate real-world physical instruments and control systems. These files are central to applications in research, engineering, and instrumentation control, enabling complex data acquisition, analysis, and presentation in various scientific and industrial settings.
- A TIFF file is a graphics container that stores raster images. It may contain high-quality graphics that support color depths from 1 to 24-bit and supports both lossy and lossless compression. TIFF files also support multiple layers and pages.
