I've just pushed new branch to Dr Powell's repo, and built a new version of this package.
I used LabVIEW 2017 SP1.
What's new :
added support for Linux Rt targets (possibly Linux in general but not tested) (issue #1)
added support for boolean parameter (issue #2)
fix a weakness in parameter detection (issue #3)
VIP 0.2.2-b16 can be downloaded from here.
