Just finished a project with Radius Teknologies. I want to say Mark was great to work with. Talked with him Friday afternoon about my LabVIEW needs and he provided me with working code Monday morning, just 2-1/2 days from start to finish. We were in constant communication over the week end working through any issues that came up. This was a great collaborative effort. I look forward to working with Mark on future LabVIEW needs.

Radius Teknologies, LLC did a very professional job assisting us in upgrading our software to run on a new hardware platform. They successfully ported our existing software to the new platform, added several new features and made the user interface much more understandable. In addition, they delivered on-time and made sure we were fully trained on how to use the new software. I am completely satisfied with their work. Radius Teknologies, LLC has truly earned my highest respect.

Following the completion of your Core1 and Core2 classes, you have changed my opinion of LabVIEW’s graphical programming style. During the class, I came to understand that the same fundamental principles of object oriented programming apply to LabVIEW, just as they do to any of the modern text based languages (classes, objects, structures, etc.). You taught us that by utilizing proper software design techniques and methodologies, LabVIEW code can be kept clean, organized and readable; which, after taking your class I firmly believe. Your classes have changed my views on LabVIEW and the graphical programming approach.

Writing Effective Requirements - In this presentation, you learn how to identify poor requirements, study the characteristics of effective requirements and learn techniques you can use to write S.M.A.R.T. requirements (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Traceable). The concepts covered in this presentation will help you to improve the quality of your requirements so that you can deliver the right solution the first time, improve product quality and the fit between the product and the customers' needs and eliminate costly mistakes and rework.

Make a Splash in LabVIEW - This presentation introduces and demonstrates several methods for creating splash screens in LabVIEW. The award-winning example, Splash Screen Effect in LabVIEW, which was selected as a Top Code Example of 2011 by National Instruments is also presented.

Shift Your Shortcuts - This presentation covers some of the lesser-known LabVIEW keyboard shortcuts that you can use to expedite common operations in the LabVIEW development environment and reduce your development time.

The Little Things - This presentation focuses on the little things that LabVIEW programmers can do to develop higher quality applications that are user friendly for both other developers and users.

Principles To Code By - This presentation teaches you 5 core principles of design and gives you the knowledge you need to apply them to develop LabVIEW applications that are scalable, modular, reusable, extensible and simple.

LabVIEW Debugging Techniques - This presentation introduces you to 10 debugging techniques ranging from basic to advanced that will help you find and squash bugs in your LabVIEW code.

Please download our ready-to-run LabVIEW example code for use in your applications.

Have questions about this code? Contact us today!

Splash Screen Effect in LabVIEW - If you're tired of creating boring, rectangular splash screens in LabVIEW, download this code now! This example code enables you to display a splash screen that is completely transparent. Only the foreground of the graphic is shown on the Windows desktop.

Sort 2D String Array - This example code enables you to perform a multi-column sort on a 2D array of strings that contains plain text strings, Hex strings and strings representing real numbers. The user can specify the column sort order.

Current VI's Path (VI or exe) - This example code is a drop-in replacement for the native Current VI's Path function. Just replace the native Current VI's Path function in your application with the Current VI's Path (VI or exe) VI and you'll never have to deal with the frustration caused by bad paths again - whether you run your code in the development environment or as an executable.

Determine Clicked Array Element Index in LabVIEW - This example code converts pixel coordinates to row-column pairs for 1D or 2D arrays enabling you to easily determine which element of an array the users of your application clicked on.

Show_Hide Windows Taskbar and Start Button - This example code enables you to show or hide the Windows Taskbar and Start Button in your applications. This can be useful if you need to use the full screen in your application and not allow the user access to the Start Button with the mouse.

Hide Inactive Mouse Cursor - This example code hides the mouse cursor after a specified period of inactivity.

Show Busy Indicator - This example code enables you to provide an indication to the user that the system is busy.

Snap To Panel - This example code enables you to position a target VI window relative to a reference VI window.

Selection Dialog - This example code enables the user to select items from a list and to manage the selected items.

Get Caps Lock Key State - This example code returns the current state of the caps lock key.

Quit LabVIEW (Conditional) - This example code quits LabVIEW only if the number of VIs in the caller's hierarchy and the number of VIs currently in memory is equal.

Boolean to Enable_Disable - This example code provides space-saving enabled / disabled attribute control in your applications.

NI Stats VI Utility - This example code enables you to easily monitor key statistics for items posted on the NI community web site without using a web browser.
