LAVA 1.0 Content Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I am going to be developing an app where the customers has provided diagrams using Object Process Methodology . A quick read of chapter one of a book on this topic has enticed me because it appears to be a formal method of diagraming systems. So.... I am interested in hearing from others about using OPM and how LabVIEW can fit into the picture. Ben PS: I'm going to cross-post this to NI. Quote Link to comment

If you are interested in OPM you may be interested in UML and SysML.... I do use UML to help with my object-oriented LabVIEW software designs and I do find it helpful.... Quote Link to comment

Hi Paul, I started reading one of the recomended books on UML so I can better understand how to develop using the State Chart tool kit. Are you using the State Chart toolkit when you say you use UML?

Are you using the State Chart toolkit when you say you use UML? Ben Well, no, although that product sounds quite interesting. We had already invested in Telelogic TAU (http://www.telelogic.com/products/tau/index.cfm). An interestingly less expensive application I have found out about more recently is Enterprise Architect (http://www.sparxsystems.com.au/). Both have modules for SysML. Endevo makes a LabVIEW-oriented UML tool (http://www.endevo.se/index.php/en/Produkte...eller-1.2.html) that uses five of the UML diagrams and works with their GOOP classes. I recall they were talking about making it work with LVOOP classes but I don't know the current status on that. The NI LabVIEW Statechart Module and Endevo's offering both allow one to generate LabVIEW code automatically (and Endevo's tool can generate a model from existing code). (The others can generate code, but not in LabVIEW.) I use UML for modeling (more or less sketching) only and find that to be helpful, for example, when I am modeling a system with many states and want to make sure I understand all the transitions.

Jan Klasson Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 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.
