When you are getting started using Python from LabVIEW and TestStand, there are requirements for how Python is installed. In this post, you can see the process for how to package Python for both LabVIEW and TestStand using NI Package Manager. In addition to being a software developer at GPower—and a fantastic colleague 🤣—Jesper Kjær […]
If you are a LabVIEW or TestStand developer, you should definitely try GPower IO-Link! A universal driver for more than 30,000 IO-Link devices! For the first time, it is plug-and-play to access encoders, digital and analog I/O, stack lights, push buttons, and much more simply by loading their IODD file in LabVIEW or TestStand. Introduction […]
Use a typedef cluster and a single feedback node; check the conditions once per iteration based on the previous iteration, and write only to the specific value when necessary, to improve clarity. Find more tips on documentation in LabVIEW in the blog post. Everyone has undoubtedly encountered undocumented code at some point, like the example […]
TestStand has existed as a product at NI for almost 20 years. I have worked with TestStand myself since 2006 in various contexts, and I regularly encounter the misconception that TestStand is “just” a test executor. In reality, TestStand is a framework for test management, where executing a test is certainly an important function, but […]
How do you reach the finish line fastest when developing robust software? At GPower, reusability is the key concept, but as with so many other things, it must be done thoughtfully. The public sphere is full of examples of software that is too expensive and delivered late. One could list many examples, but it is […]
What do you do when your test system is running an old version of TestStand, and you are not entirely comfortable simply transferring the code to the latest version of TestStand? Here are five tips for upgrading your test system. Should you change a test system if it is not broken? Most people would probably […]
