Hi all - sharing an open-source LabVIEW client we’ve been developing at Nominal. The idea is simple: keep LabVIEW doing what it does well on the test stand, while streaming the resulting data to Nominal for analysis, visualization, and collaboration. Instead of test data living on individual machines or desktop TDMS files, engineers can stream data directly from LabVIEW into a shared workspace, where it can be time-aligned with logs, video, and other data for analysis. Nominal's LabVIEW client supports real-time streaming, TDMS upload, and NI Linux RT. Install via VIPM LabVIEW client source on GitHub We're also building Instro, an open-source Python library for instrument control and test automation. For anyone running a mixed LabVIEW/Python test environment, we'd especially love feedback on where you draw that boundary today and what instruments you'd like to see supported. Instro source on GitHub Would love feedback from the LAVA community - on either project.

This is the nine year-old link I've saved for this - Solved: Re: New VI - default window size - NI Community It behaves oddly in that if you change it and close it before saving, it won't prompt you to save. Anyone understand this?

2026 Q3 was released the other day by the way...

Update: I compiled an executable with ShaunR's help. My LabVIEW VI (LV 2017) communicates fine with a simple C++ program, but my executable doesn't. I found a workaround (turn the "keep it simple" boolean off, to use the workaround). Still, I'd like to understand. The C++ sharmemtest.zip uses Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and boost (version 1.76.0, if it matters). sharmemtest.zip shmem_testr.vi

If you google "LabVIEW modbus" you'll find some solutions. Top one for me was a 2015 article on NI's website.

Just slap an 'Always Copy' node after the constant in the second case and it is all good (LV10). They should probably change the icon of that function to a band-aid. (Of course the number of places you need this is supposedly declining, but it is still good to know for those of us stuck with old versions).
