We have relesed GOOP Development Suite v4.1. Most important features are: - support for RT - GOOP3 to GOOP4 conversion - A new design pattern: Active object supporting dynamic events. About design pattern. To keep generated code to a minimum only basic functionality is added by default into the GOOP 4 class. As a complement we introduced the "Add Design Pattern" feature which can be used to add extra features to the class, for example: persistent, class attributes and active object. As usual the tool adds the same features, create class/UML code generation/etc, for native LabVIEW classes

Hi The Symbio UML tool can reverse engineer state machine VIs. This is a non OO feature. Jan

Clarification about Symbio/Endevo and links etc: Endevo changed name to Symbio in 2009. Our latest tool is GOOP Development Suite (aka GDS), it works for LV 2010/2009/.../8.2.1. There is a free Community Edition of the tool and a built-in one month trial: www.symbio.com/goop The GOOP Development Suite provides support both for native classes and it also provides GOOP4 which is a reference based class template, basically lv class + DVR. It has UML class diagram support for native classes and GOOP4, code gen, synch and reverse engineering, and it can reverse engineer state machine VIs. Jan

Hi, We had an issue with the v3.5. So now we released version 3.5.1. Please download and read about whats new here: www.endevo.se/trial Thanks, Jan

Now we have release version 3.5.1 which includes the fix Mike described and a few more. Download installer and read about what's new here: www.endevo.se/trial Thanks, Jan

Hi Endevo has released version 3.5 of the GOOP Development Suite! This version of the tool is compatible with LabVIEW 2009. I am sorry you had to wait for the release but we had a few issues with the LV 2009. This version of the tool runs on LV 8.5, 8.6 and 2009. For LV 8.2.1 use v2.5. Download latest version and read about what's new: www.endevo.se/trial Also: Endevo and Flander joined forces with Ardites and Symbio Group to create Symbio. The Swedish operations will continue to be based on Endevos services and expertise, with the added opportunities and services of Symbio. The merger st

Mike will include an updated Clone VI in the GDS 3.1 beta we are working on. Also: Update about Endevo tools. www.endevo.se is redirected to www.flander.com. Use this link to download GOOP Development Suite: http://www.flander.com/English/Endevo/Prod...US/Default.aspx Endevo was purchased by Flander in December. We believe it is positive for Endevo; for our OO-UML tools and training effort it is business as usual. Read the press release if you want to know more: http://www.flander.com/English/NewsMedia/N...US/Default.aspx Jan

Hi, I have a solution which is to use the GOOP Development Suite for your native class. Sorry about the plug... There is a feature called "Clone VI" which allows you to clone a VI a and select a new class (and VI name). The new VI will be properly linked to data types of the new class. The icon will also be fixed of course. Right click on the VI and select: GOOP->Clone VI... Try it: http://www.endevo.se/index.php/en/Products_Info/Trial.html Community Edition is free.

QUOTE (Mads @ Nov 5 2008, 04:49 PM) I see what you mean. Unfortunately you are right, we don´t have any plans on turning parts of tool into open source. Perhaps we should extract the components into a report API and sell that too. Jan

GOOP Development Suite is a development tool integrated into the LabVIEW project environment enhancing the built-in OO features and providing UML for LabVIEW. Version 3.0 of GOOP Development Suite is compatible with LabVIEW 8.6! New features include Clone Method and integration with UML tools from other vendors (XMI export of class diagram). The GOOP2 to GOOP3 upgrade feature has been improved to handle more complex designs. A number of improvements have been done to further increase the stability of the tool. Download latest version and free trials: http://www.endevo.se/index.php/en/Prod

QUOTE (jgcode @ Aug 18 2008, 12:57 AM) Clarification about Endevo tools and RT. Endevo GOOP Development Suite is the newest toolkit we have and it runs on LV 8.2.1 and up. It uses the lvclass to provide the GOOP 3 by ref model and therefore it will not run on RT. For RT we have the GOOP Inheritance Tookit which uses the GOOP2 class model with inheritance and virtual methods. GOO2 is not based on lvclass and will run on RT. GOOP 2 runs on LV 6.1 and newer LV versions. If there are compatibility issues we release updated class templates to keep GOOP 2 classes compatible with new LV version

Clarification about Endevo GOOP tools. The GOOP Development Suite uses lvclass for its by reference architecture so it will no run on RT until lvclass does. As Mike pointed out GOOP 2 runs on RT. GOOP 2 is our class architecture which is included in the GOOP Inheritance Toolkit. GOOP 2 runs on LV 6.1 and up and is of course not based on lvclass. It does use Sem for synch and is therefore not deterministic. It can be used to structure the part of the code which is not time critical. GOOP 2 provides inheritance and virtual methods (works similar like Dynamic Dispatch). Jan

And a few months later, Jan wakes up... Endevos newest tool, the GOOP Development Suite, supports both LabVIEW classes plus two by reference models (GOOP3 and OpenG), both based on lvclass. The GOOP Development Suite has UML support for all three class models. There are free trials and a free Community Edition. Read more here: http://www.endevo.se/index.php/en/GOOP-Dev-Suite/ Jan

Warning! This is a shameless plug for our OO and UML tool. Read more here: http://forums.lavag.org/Endevo-GOOP-Develo...sed-t10617.html Jan

State of the art OO and UML support for LabVIEW - now further improved! If you haven't tried this tool, give it a (free) trial. You will be amazed at how fast you can create and manage object oriented LabVIEW code from the project environment. And when you have tried that, open the integrated UML tool and generate classes directly from UML, or generate class diagrams from your LabVIEW code (don't miss the state diagram which can be generated from state machine VIs). Classes and methods are created from customizable templates, VI icons are managed by the tool. And as before you can choose to
