Presentation Spotlight – DevOps & Git for LabVIEW Development by Anoop Nandakumar

DevOps and Git have been widely adopted by text-based software developers for several years however, many LabVIEW developers still rely on SVN. At CPE Systems NZ, we have been transitioning from SVN to Git and DevOps over the past few months.

This presentation will focus on:

• Benefits of DevOps & Git vs SVN
• Transitioning from SVN to Git (including commit and version history)
• Using DevOps tools for Software Development Management in a Team
• Using Git for LabVIEW Development and version control in a Team
• Diff and merge of code, enhanced by new features in LabVIEW 2025 Q1.
• Using DevOps to control and document reusable LabVIEW Code and maximize the value of Software Intellectual Property

The presentation will also include demos on the above topics, using Microsoft Azure DevOps as an example platform.

Emerson / NI are our Gold Sponsor for 2025!

We wouldn’t be able to put on GDevCon ANZ without the generous contributions of our sponsors.

Emerson / NI are our gold sponsor again in 2025. NI were acquired by Emerson over 12 months ago, and the signs for LabVIEW have been really encouraging. They are very committed to supporting the graphical programming community and want to be known as “The LabVIEW company”.

Their comprehensive suite of solutions, ranging from software-defined instruments to modular hardware platforms, equips engineers with the flexibility and agility needed to adapt to ever-evolving demands.

To see the full list, visit our sponsors page. Further Sponsor announcements to come soon.
