Make sure you save your work, first, as this will kill LabVIEW.

taskkill /f /im labview.exe

Your mileage may vary.

This trick is also great for disabling Explorer in Windows so that non-savvy operators can't play with other Windows apps while they're supposed to be working.

taskkill /f /im explorer.exe

If you ever want to do this remotely, you should check out PSTools... There are a lot of cool capabilities.

Hi Punk,

To answer your question, I've used LabVIEW for a lot of different things, but right now I'm working on a pretty complicated LabVIEW FPGA application that uses a lot of fixed-point math. I'm also writing a server application in LabVIEW RT to interact with the FPGA and communicate over TCP. In the recent past, though, I worked for a Select Integrator writing code for various applications and industries, mostly test stands.

As far as other interesting stuff, I recently had good luck dabbling with VI scripting to refactor some legacy code. (i.e. programatically extracting strings from dozens of case structure cases and converting them to enums) I was surprised with how well it worked out.

I guess that serves as an intro for now...

Hi Folks,

I've been somewhat active on the NI boards, but I thought I'd join LAVA, too. I'm a Certified Architect in the Northeast US, tinkering around with obscure features on a regular basis. I've met a few of the regulars here in person, so maybe some of you will recognize me. (I know, the garbage can somewhat obscures my identity)
