Touchdown

Well, we arrived in Austin today. It was only 29C (85F). Someone told me that yesterday it was 102! Looking at the forecast shows that it will be pretty hot next week. As long as we have lot's of Shiner Bock on hand, it should be ok. Our flight was ok from Toronto to Chicago. O'hare had some interesting sights. I'm not sure about this one though.

The flight from Chicago to Austin was bumpy. I got air sick. It's usually these small jets that do it for me. Plus, the "meal" wasn't the greatest...

Arriving in the Austin Airport, I figured I would take the supershuttle. Seing that it would be a 30min. wait I decided to take a cab instead, $16 later we're at the Radisson. Well, good news, they have high-speed internet in the rooms and it's only $9.95 per day! What a steal... ya right. I think it's wireless at TGI Fridays at no charge. I saw this in the lobby. Gotta love Texas eh? This is the view from our room.

Here are some images from our day:

Can someone explain this to me?
Walked over to see the bats: bat1 bat2 bat3.
Looking up Congress Ave.
Ate at Jazz (one of my favorite restaraunts). You can't miss it. It's the one with this guy at the door.
6th Street characters and interesting window displays.
Moon over Austin.

The Compact Vision System is not a Compact FieldPoint module. Like the Compact FieldPoint Controllers, it is a LabVIEW RT Target. With the serial & ethernet ports, you can use the embedded LabVIEW code to talk to FieldPoint or Compact FieldPoint systems, but it does not plug onto a Compact FieldPoint backplane, nor do Compact FieldPoint modules plug into it.

FYI, the "CompactFieldPoint IMAQ module" is being called "Compact Vision System" or "CVS". Yes, it looks really exciting.

A clarification - the State Diagram Editor is released and shipping. It is an add on toolkit and not part of the pro version of LV, nor is it included in any dev suite package. It's pretty cool! There is a booth you can visit at the expo where you can give it a test drive.

I definitely recommend checking out the Friday session on creating Express VIs... the add-on toolkit for creating custom Express VIs released yesterday and is now orderable. The developer of the toolkit will be presenting the session. The toolkit is orderable today and should ship shortly.

OK, I take the blame. But only in Texas would a brewpub a) not have beer and b) not have food. Hey, at least there was no cover charge!

This week will actually be the announcement. I don't believe it's shipping yet, but it is orderable. There is also, of course, the Express VI Development Toolkit. It's really very interesting too. They're both on NI's Products Pages now so you can get some info there. Definitely go to the session on it.
