If you have LabVIEW application, which uses PPL and works fine in development environment, but does not work as executable – this is the right place to search for the solution. But first, let’s discuss background of the error. Project packed library (PPL) – is great stuff in LabVIEW, but […]
It has been passed one week since my first open source Project version check toolkit was published at vipm.io. I’m very happy about it, and it’s time to tell couple words about the toolkit here in the blog. What does the toolkit do? Simply checks version of opened LabVIEW project, […]
In terms of LabVIEW Actor Framework, Helper Loop – is loop which runs in parallel to Actor Core, and is used to handle either time-consuming code (which could potentially block Actor), or handle Event Structure events. While using Helper Loop, develop must ensure that it is properly stopped, because this […]
[Originally posted on 2018-08] Recently, I was trying to install Ubuntu 18.04 on the second SSD drive, to have dual boot Windows 7 + Ubuntu available. It seemed to be quite easy – download Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, create bootable USB, and here you go! But, the first attempt was not […]
[Originally posted on 2018-08] VI Tester from JKI – is great tool for unit testing in LabVIEW. I’ve already described it in my blog post http://kosist.org/2017/06/jki-vi-tester-useful-tool-for-labview-developer/. This time, I’d like to tell couple words about how to modify default VI Tester Test Case template class, so each time when you […]
[Originally published on 2018-08] This time the article is mostly for LabVIEW newcomers – just, I’d like to share couple interesting points of how you could make LabVIEW programming easier, funnier and faster. So, here we go. Swap inputs What if you have function with two inputs, and then you […]
[Originally published on 2018-07] Malleable VI – is cool feature, which was introduced in LabVIEW 2017. As LabVIEW help tells (http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361P-01/lvconcepts/malleable_vis_intro/): A malleable VI (.vim) is a VI that is inlined into its calling VI and can adapt each terminal to its corresponding input data type. With malleable VIs, you build a […]
In my previous post, I’ve slightly touched unit test topic in LabVIEW, particularly – JKI VI Tester. But, as I’ve mentioned there, there is another unit test framework from JKI – which is Caraya test framework, designed by Tomi Maila (as it follows from this presentation from Jim Kring). To […]
Intro: if you’d prefer to read this post in Ukrainian or Russian, you can check it by this or this links. Unit testing – is a very important part of development for any kind of software. By itself, unit testing – is a testing of separate code modules. One can do it […]
