This year has been an interesting year so far. We made it to the CLA Summit in Austin and the one in Germany. We couldn’t make it to the first CLA Summit in India, which is a shame, because until then I could say that I was the only non NI employee who had been … [Read more…]
For the past few months we have been working on an automated test project where several pieces of instrumentation (and the Unit Under Test) are handled by a DQMH module. These modules are launched by, and then run asynchronously to, a TestStand sequence. This is a great way to implement automated tests, as it results … [Read more…]
A few months ago I published this blog post about User Events in LabVIEW. From the replies and questions that this sparked, it is clear that many people either use LabVIEW User Events as the primary message transport in their applications or are planning to do so in the future, and that the concept of … [Read more…]

The DQMH is a framework that we use with our customers, and it is available on the LabVIEW Tools Network. In this post I’m going to be looking at a particular … [Read more…]
YAF stands for Yet Another Framework. I know a large number of LabVIEW developers either have their own templates, or would like to have their own templates. What I want to do is walk you through how we approached ours – because it was driven by some high-level principles we have learned about LabVIEW and also by some … [Read more…]

It was very common to have a folder called Controls, another folder called subVIs, and the Main.vi on the root folder for the project. I still … [Read more…]

Like many application frameworks that grow organically, there were many challenges encountered along the journey. When we were creating … [Read more…]
