I mentioned to a Test People who are LabWindows CVI users about the possibility of going to LabVIEW in the future, I was met with...well...resistance.
I am a LabWindows CVI user and I don't want to move away from it (unless it's to C++ and Measurement Studio or Java). But there are hardware guys who may be better at LabVIEW than LabWindows. I believe that there is room for both. The real programmers can use LabWindows CVI and those programmer wanna-be's can use LabVIEW. Since LabWindows and LabVIEW can both be used with TestStand (yet another NI product) both can be used. Or, through .dll's each can interact with the other.
NI is good at listening to LabWindows users (Thanks Wendy Logan) and implementing new features. Even though the features come to LabWindows about 6 months after LabVIEW gets the features. It was good to hear that NI will back LabWindows in the known future.
Hmmm, when will NI make a Measurement Studio like product for Java? ...or COBOL! Well, maybe not COBOL. Just a thought.
Have a great day!
