Greetings, Wireworkers! The previous VI Shots Live shows have been a huge success -- thank you for your continued support and viewership! Join us once more Wednesday, 26 March 2014, 12noon CST (18:00 GMT) for this month's topic - The LabVIEW Nomad: Developing and Debugging LabVIEW Remotely. Whether a true digital nomad, or a team member of a large organization, there's value to knowing how to develop and debug on remote customer machines. Decoupling your person from your deployment target is not always easy, and this month we've got a panel of experienced developers ready to share their experiences and answer audience questions on how to save resources and make the most of getting work done remotely. Michael and I are excited to host Fabiola De la Cueva (Principal at Delacor) and Justin Goeres (Senior Engineer and Marketing Manager at JKI) on this topic. As always, you can join from vishots.com/live -- hop on that link a few minutes early, ready with questions to ask the panel! Pro-tip -- the Event Page (new event page linked each month, accessible from from vishots.com/live) will add an event to your calendar if you click the "Yes, I'm coming" button (shown below) (Finally, as a brief logistics note, I'll update this thread monthly rather than creating a new thread in the Lounge)

Another things which wasn't touched on in the video. Sometimes you have to interact with hardware with a technician/engineer present. Especially when going through wiring, schematics and generally troubleshooting which is invariably in an industrial situation-in situe. Describing what they can see is very difficult especially with a language barrier and for them to carry a laptop around and use it to send images/video of exactly what they are seeing isn't very practical. A head-mounted bluetooth video camera is fantastic for this and very convenient for them. They just need to pair it with their phone and you can see what they can. If you have ever had to remotely troubleshoot wiring it makes it sooooo much easier discussing wire idents and spotting that clue that tips you off to the solution.

Logmein Central +Free (regular free is now defunct) is a fairly cost effective solution compared to TeamViewer.
