National Instruments announces NI Labs at NIWeek


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm very excited about a new web initiative announced this year at NIWeek, NI Labs. This is similer to Google Labs.

QUOTE

NI Labs showcases the evolving technologies from National Instruments R&D engineers that aren't quite ready for release. These virtual research labs offer you the chance to download and work with cutting-edge developments, offer product feedback, get answers to your questions, and learn about recent successes and struggles.

Each featured technology includes an experimental prototype containing:

  • Installer
  • Documentation
  • Easy-to-run examples

Your questions and input will go directly to a National Instruments R&D engineer. We invite you to explore this section, and appreciate your feedback in helping drive future product development.

I suggest you all check it out and go to the NI Labs forums to request that they FINALLY RELEASE VI SCRIPTING. I can't see a better venue for this. What do you think about this?

I would be a really good day for me, if NI releases scripting, but I am unsure whether that is the right place/way?

e.g. If there were hundreds of users of my ADO toolkit, who would request a special feature in my forum, I guess, I'd consider this as spam. Second, I am not sure, if it is usefull to make extra pressure? I think NI knows that there is a strong demand for this feature, but NI does not want to spread this feature right now (most probably due to "who should support this stuff"-reasons?). NI is a company and if there is any chance to sell a feature or increase the value of a current product by adding a new feature, I am allmost sure, they will do it.

third: I tried to make a post at the ni.com forums, but I don't know how. I have definitively an account and I am a registered member, but I couldn't find the response button to your post :blush:

Why is this not the right place? NI never had a venue like this before and as such, had no way to properly release scripting until now.

If there were hundreds of users for your ADO toolkit requesting features then I think you would implement the feature since it obviously is something you can sell. I think this is a good problem to have then having no users.

By being in NI labs, they are shielded from the support issue. Support happens through the forums.

The reply button is right above my name:

If this is the real issue then just say so from the start.

BTW:I have no plans to make a product out of it ...
