Is this thing rigged? - SF Bay Area LAVA wins big at NI Week
LAVA folks from the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter got a lot of attention this year at NI Week. Mark Naley and Richard Jennings won VIP awards and Mike Simoneau won a Home Entertainment Center. Keep reading for photos and other info...

NI's Most Wanted - Impersonating a Developer
Certain member's of LAVA and OpenG are wanted by NI officials for allegedly impersonating members of the LabVIEW development team during a photo taken for the 8/15 NI Week Show Daily newsletter. These individuals are extremely nerdy and you are therefore urged to contact authorities rather than approach them yourself. See the evidence and eye witness reports...

The Salt Lick (Pictures & Hilights)
Our trip to The Salt Lick was great! We all met at the LAVA/OpenG Booth and then headed out on the road. We had about 30 people make it, which made for quite a lively dinner party. We didn't get seated right away, but 1 beer later we were seated and enjoying the BBQ. We had a great mix of LAVA, OpenG, and LabVIEW R&D team-members, so you can imagine that the fun conversations had over dinner.

Wednesday Keynote
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?...

Alliance Party
Well, after the Copper Tank Dirk and I decided to head-on over to the Alliance Day appreaciation party. Well, there was a band but of course nobody was dancing. My wife (Merlyn) and our friend Denise decided to get the party started. A room full of engineers is a tuff crowd. In any case, after a few shiner's the whole room was dancing. It's too bad that the band had to wrap-up by 10:30 since that's when the party got really hot... I wonder where Dirk went...

Nice Smile

"Sorry ladies, we gotta go, party's over"
I wonder why everything's so blurry?

Setting Up The LAVA\OpenG Booth
Well, I dropped by the Exhibition Hall to take a look at the LAVA\OpenG booth. We spent a little time setting things up. I had to do all the work! The booth is right next to the LabVIEW history booth so hopefully many LabVIEW geeks will be dropping by to pay homage to the LAVA lamp...
That's me!
Me and the LAVA lamp had a special bond

Tuesday Part 1
Today I came to the show hoping for some kick-ass presentations. I was dissapointed. There was however an exception to this. The presentation by Brian Powell (creating LV add-ons) was interesting. He actually revealed a lot about the future features of LabVIEW without actually saying anything. Every time we would ask him a question he would say: "That's a great idea, now wouldn't that be great if LabVIEW could do that" with a smile on his face. He seemed like a nice guy. The meat of the presentation was pretty much stuff that I have heard before but the questions and feature requests from the audience was pretty good.
The Seminar on using LabVIEW's application builder and the Wise installation application was a big dissapointment. Presented by someone at VI Technology. I was hoping that it would be presented by an NI Engineer. I wanted to find out more about the undocumented merge modules. It seems like the presenter just went through the same exercise that I did a few weeks back with Installshield.

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.
