not too much..both r simulation softwares....
But Matlab is more rich in case of toolboxes...

Completely different !!!
MATLAB is a very powerful mathematical engine with wide range of toolboxes and other tools, e.g SIMULINK. It can be used for nearly everything "on system level"
Check : http://www.mathworks.com/
LABVIEW is a very powerful tool mainly used for testing and DAS "Data Acquisition systems"
Check: http://www.ni.com/labview/

Both are user friendly..you can use anyone of them depending on how much u can pay??
meanwhile I won't agree with Aomeen because Labview is also useful in signal processing and infact you can do system level simulation for Backfin or other Analog devices DSP processor through Labview.
on the other hand u can use Matlab for data acquistion purpose also...
Added after 19 minutes:
i m attaching one presentation on Matlab...
i hope it will help u..

Both of them started in a completely different way.
Matlab WAS essentially a tool for matrix calculation.
Labview was essentially a tool for instrumentation
control. However, with the years both are being
getting closer, Matlab to allow control and data
adquisition, and Labview to allow more complex
math calculations.
However, Matlab still better regarding big matrixes
and Labview still better than Matlab at creating
easier applications for instrumentation.

trust me ..
go for matlab instead of labview..
Labview takes very less time to develop..
Matlab takes just a little bit more than labview..but it is still powerfull
matlab gives you enough tweaks to give you what you want whereas in labview you can do it only if you are a indepth c programmer

i have a question. can i use labview to simulate FDTD?
i think it can't be used. but i just wanna ask those who know labview well coz i used labview only used labview for a short period of time and i really don't know its capabilities.tnx

What do you think then of the NI LAbVIEW CVI compiler? There you can the way you want to go...
LabVIEW contains MAthScript where you can use the Matlab syntax... ex for simulating PID controllers,...
If I was yours I go for LabVIEW!

no comparison can be made
, but both are powerful
, and one is just new one !
i think !

Matlab is for DSP, Communication analysis,mathematics modeling...
Labview is to make Test Engineering easy.
Matlab can now do test Engineering (GPIB tool Box etc...) and Labview can
now do more analysis.
Matlab is like C programming but more user friendly. Labview is a graphical
way of programming. It seems easy (I like line coding be cause it gives you
more control). Labview has been adding many web options so there is a lot
of possibilities with Labview.
So I would say you should think about what you will need to do and then make
a decision of which to be come an expert at. If you are going to be a Test Engineer
Labview will be mandatory.

Strictly speaking, it's probably possible to implement FDTD in LabView, but it would also probably take a lot more programming time and execute much slower than if you implemented it in Matlab.

Labview is best to adquisition Data
Matlab is good to manipulate Data from Labview.
In Matlab there is Simulink

In matlab ,NO real time data processing
Matlab 1st store,then process.
But labview can perform real time data processing
hence labview is good from this respect.
But
I refer you to work 1st on matlab as it is more user friendly.
HELP file of matlab can teach u a lot.

Labview can be used for hardware interface. whereas matlab can be content to calculate.
there are many hardare cards to be adopted labview from NI. to build a complete system.

i used C++ to simulate FDTD.
mostly i do data analysis,prototype evaluation and simulation with matlab.
i think labview is very easy to handle and i always use it to control instruments such as oscilloscope and data acquisition card, but one of my friend does everything using labview.

| With simulations the results from LabView are much more closer to experimental results. Also for similar models in LabView and Simulink, LabView runs faster.

| The different is LabVIEW has a beautiful interface and matlab has a programming interface,but believe me the Matlab is beter because LabVIEW is restricted to National Instrument hardwares.

Dear friend
Matlab and Labview not same cathegory.
Matlab very powerfull programming script language.
clasical style write code,
use simulink build block or use stateflow. its very flexible and powerfull.
Labview
very powerfull programming tool for NI cards. not writing code u build a picture a lego castle  .
after time u lost control.
I prefer Matlab.

Not strictly true, check out xPC Target.

| Both of these are simulation tools. MATLAB is a technical computing language tool to solve mathematical, signal processing, communications problems while LabView is a design and test tool. MATLAB is better than LabView because it has many many integrated features than anyother simulation package.
