Ernoriel Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I start this year because of a training course where I have to code in LabVIEW... I would like to know why did YOU have started and how did you feel LabVIEW at the beginning^^ Quote Link to comment
JDave Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I started coding in LabVIEW because there was an interesting project that came up which happened to use LabVIEW. I wanted to work on the project, and I was interested in learning another programming language, so I jumped on. Starting from a computer engineering background with some circuit and EE classes, not to mention a lot of MATLAB and Simulink experience, LabVIEW felt quite intuitive. I started with 7.1 so there was already a rich set of programming tools available (DataSocket, Queues, Events, etc.). So I really enjoyed my new language. First big turnoff - Namespace issues. Relinking of subVIs to others of the same name but different path. Ouch. Favorite aspect - Tie between the ease of creating multiple VIs that communicate with eachother, and the ability to reuse code because every subVI has the potential of reuse. In the end, I might just be a typical EE programmer who fell in love with a wired SW development world. David Quote Link to comment
