Specify, purchase, design, build, maintain, improve and support test equipment and/or test systems (HW/SW) including subsystems and interfaces.

Design, develop, and maintain LabVIEW based software applications.

Troubleshoot test systems from the test equipment level to board and component level using diagnostics tools.

Develop requirements specifications for low and high voltage electrical test systems.

Write and review documentation (procedures, special instructions, qualification plans and reports, corrective action plans, etc.)

Analyze data in order to identify potential test equipment/product issues and develop corrective action plans.

Develop testing protocols and procedures with product development teams, engineers, technicians, and scientists.

Basic Qualifications

BSEE degree or equivalent.- 5 years experience in design and build of test equipment hardware (boards, subsystems, interfaces, etc.) and test fixtures to be used for electrical testing.

3+ Years experience in LabVIEW software development, implementation, and troubleshooting for automated test systems.

Desired/Preferred Qualifications

4+ years of experience in the qualification of electrical test equipment, electrical test fixtures and/or electrical test systems. Experience with high voltage testing. Experience LCR meters, Hi-Pot testers, and data acquisition systems.

Experience with Design of Experiments, Statistical Process Control, and one or more ECAD application.

Experience with .NET software development (VB or C#)

3+ years of experience in medical device or pharmaceutical manufacturing/testing.

3+ years of experience with Oracle or MS SQL Server.

Physical Job Requirements

Vision requirements correctable to 20/20 in 1 eye and 20/40 in other eye.

Don't give NI any ideas...

On the dorky LabVIEW hilarity scale, this is a 10! :gathering:

Let me try again. Try passing the reference from the shell vi to the event handler by using an invoke node and calling the Set Control Value [Variant] function. Pass the name of the sub-panel reference on the shell and the sub-panel reference as the variant.

Good luck,

Matt

Hi Matt,

I'm not really clear on what you're saying... some words seem to be missing in your post. Could you please rephrase?

Thanks,

Dave

I'm not sure if I clearly get what you are asking, but I believe an answer to your question 1 would be to pass the reference from to the shell by using an invoke node with the shell vi's reference calling the Set Control Value [Variant] function and pass the name of the sub-panel reference on the shell and the sub-panel reference. Like I said, i'm not sure if I'm completely clear on your application so I hope this helps.

Good luck,

Matt

Dear all,

I've been building a multi-graph indicator that processes and displays the same data in different ways depending on which graph type is selected (e.g., as a time series vs. as a power spectrum vs. as an autocorrelation). At first this seemed like a good use for XControls, but each graph has different options that the user can change at runtime, and handling all the control options for all the graphs in a single VI seems unwieldy. Also, with an XControl, it seems like I need to perform the FFT on every data update even if I'm just displaying raw time series data, which is not so clean.

Now I'm using subpanels for the same purpose, and this is very easy and clean up to a point. I have a single event handler VI that loads a different subVI into a subpanel depending on a user-selected enum, and when new data is received, passes it through to the active subpanel. This event handler works great and does everything I want.

Now comes the hard part. My multi-graph needs to live inside a larger VI. Ideally I would like to encapsulate the event handler for the multi-graph in its own VI, and have it load the different graph types into a subpanel on the shell VI. But then I would need to give the event handler a reference to the subpanel that lives in the shell, and have the event handler invoke the "Insert VI" method using the _subpanel reference_.

So I have two questions: 1) How do I get a reference to the subpanel in the shell VI? and 2) Can I wire the subpanel reference to a regular Invoke node in the event handler to insert the appropriate graph type?

And maybe a third question: 3) Am I using the right approach to this problem?

Thanks,

Dave

I'm doing pretty well. There's definitely no shortage of work over here! I have been too busy to even dig into that project that shall remain nameless that we inherited from you guys.

Hey Matt! Good to see you're lurking How are you going?

Hello everyone! My name is Matt. I generally follow the topics posted by way of RSS through google reader. Some may know me as a former employee of VI Engineering. I do quite a bit of GOOP and have been programming labview for nearly 6 years now. Hope all is well for all you VIE guys out there!
