I don't know, I've only used Labview a couple of times, it had really nice interfaces to temperature sensors and some other physical things, you were able to throw together a quick ui monitoring a number of sensors, had a start and stop button and tools for data export. We were able to pick it up in a few hours. Programming the experiment took a couple of hours too, obviously it was rather trivial but I doubt we would have had much luck interfacing with all those different sensors in a C program without major headache.
