Resources and Insights for Large System Development for the Engineering and Scientific Community
I just recorded a webcast dedicated to introducing object oriented programming in LabVIEW with a focus specifically towards the value of the approach for the purpose of designing abstraction layers. When introducing OOP, this webcast seeks to clarify the contrast with a non-OOP approach and illustrate why OOP lends itself towards improved scalability and extensibility. If you've …

One technical aspect of creating the Measurement Utility that continues to prove to be challenging is building plugins in order to ensure they can be called correctly in the run-time engine (RTE). To be clear, I'm referring specifically to plugins that are loaded dynamically by a LabVIEW-built executable using a factory pattern. I thought I'd take a …

As promised, I have posted the 3.0 version of the Measurement Utility for download here: Measurement Utility (Plugin Hardware Abstraction Layer Using Actor Framework). Note: If you're not familiar with the system I'm referring to, start with this older blog entry: Designing a LabVIEW Measurement System with Multiple Abstraction Layers. This latest version has been quite …
