• Monday, May 20^th

  Compared with current-generation LabVIEW, using classes in LabVIEW NXG is a little bit different and sometimes better for certain aspects, but you can still gain a lot with integrated development environment (IDE) object-oriented design. Learn how to use object-oriented programming (OOP) in LabVIEW NXG and boost productivity by visually building your object-oriented designs using the UML Class Editor add-on.

  In just an hour of LabVIEW programming, you interact with the LabVIEW IDE hundreds, perhaps thousands, of times. Chances are, you could be executing many editor gestures more efficiently. Explore how to change your workflow to perform the most common LabVIEW programming tasks as quickly as possible.

  The need for dynamic, scalable, and reconfigurable test equipment is growing more prevalent. A strong foundation of abstraction and standardization is required to meet these ever-changing requirements.
