Three More LabVIEW Presentations Announced

What’s New in LabVIEW

Sher Lentic – Braemac

If you had been using LabVIEW for the longest time, you wished there was a way to zoom in on those array functions. The wait is over! zoom feature is one biggest and most awaited changes in LabVIEW 2023. This along with other productivity features added to the latest iteration of LabVIEW will be demonstrated.

We will also be touching base on LabVIEW interoperability with emerging programming languages like Python and MATLAB.

Finally, we will be showcasing a new feature in package building for VIPM and JKI Dragon.

The presentation will include demos on LabVIEW 2023 interoperability, workflow environments and package manage improvements.

ViPER, an open source dependency injection framework for LabVIEW

Kurt Friday – Medulla

ViPER was originally developed to significantly cut the risk, time, complexity and expense of implementing changes to test system software used in medical device manufacturing

Conventional deployed systems usually consist of a monolithic executable containing all dependencies, so implementing a change, no matter how small, requires extensive top to bottom system verification, an activity that can take months. By implementing Dependency Injection a system is assembled at runtime from a collection of pre-verified components, so verification activities only need to focus on the new or changed components, not the entire system.

We have put significant effort into refactoring ViPER and making it capable of running on Windows and RT. We have used ViPER to build several medical device manufacturing systems, one in particular runs on an NI RT Industrial controller, is capable of parallel testing up to 100 medical devices and serves out HMIs to operators with tablets. I’ll give a brief overview of that system, and also give an overview of the Medulla Test Executive which is built using the ViPER framework and I’ll show how to build a test system using it.
