The Wednesday keynote focused on the wiz-bang features of LabVIEW and the future evolution of the language. We heard - again - the mention of scripting in LabVIEW. We saw the state diagram toolkit and a preview of some technology that tries to make LabVIEW a tool for the entire manufacturing process. From the design floor right on up to the deployment and testing stage. Basically they figured that control design and simulation tools use graphics and icons so why not have LabVIEW do the control design? All you need to do is add arrows to the ends of your wires right?...

said: 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. Go to this post!

said: 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. Go to this post!

said: 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. Go to this post!
