For the past few months we have been working on an automated test project where several pieces of instrumentation (and the Unit Under Test) are handled by a DQMH module. These modules are launched by, and then run asynchronously to, a TestStand sequence. This is a great way to implement automated tests, as it results … [Read more…]
A few months ago I published this blog post about User Events in LabVIEW. From the replies and questions that this sparked, it is clear that many people either use LabVIEW User Events as the primary message transport in their applications or are planning to do so in the future, and that the concept of … [Read more…]
