         control and industrial automation. This article presents LVAD, a graphically programmed
         implementation of forward mode Automatic Differentiation for LabVIEW. Our results show that the
         overhead of using overloaded AD in LabVIEW is sufficiently low as to warrant further investigation
         and that, within the graphical programming environment, AD may be made reasonably user friendly. We
         further introduce a prototype LabVIEW Optimization Toolbox which utilizes LVAD’s
         derivative information. Our toolbox presently contains two main LabVIEW procedures fzero and fmin
         for calculating roots and minima respectively of an objective function in a single variable. Two
         algorithms, Newton and Secant, have been implemented in each case. Our optimization package may be
         applied to graphically coded objective functions, not the simple string definition of functions used
         by many of the optimizers of LabVIEW’s own optimization package.",
