Thanks for the good ideas with this. I'd thought of the plug-in architecture myself, but not the obsolete hardware challenge or the multi-access point problem. These are still a bit above the level of non-programmers learning LabVIEW in a 10-week class, although the plug-in and multi access point can probably be simplified enough to work as problems. Thanks again, Stuart

I'm teaching an introductory programming course using LabVIEW to 30 college freshmen, as part of a comparison study of text based vs. graphical programming. To match curricula, I need to include two days of object oriented programming. There are lots of great examples of how to do this, but I need to find a compelling example that shows why it is used. Is there some simple application that involves solving a real world problem, that becomes much easier, or much more obvious when OO concepts are applied to the solution? I'm drawing a blank, and have posed the question to several colleagues, and have them puzzled as well. Stuart
