The next version of NI LabVIEW software is under development, and NI R&D engineers are looking for your input. User feedback is an invaluable factor when developing new products, and it is taken into consideration when ideas are on the drawing board. Can you recall any glitches you have experienced, ideas on how to increase your efficiency, or even features that you would like to see built into the product? If so, visit the LabVIEW Idea Exchange to get your ideas in front of the LabVIEW R&D team.
The LabVIEW Idea Exchange offers you the opportunity to share your thoughts on ways to improve the LabVIEW user experience and collaborate with NI R&D and other users to further develop possible solutions. You can post new ideas and give votes, or “kudos,” to existing ideas that you would like to see implemented in future versions. As an idea accumulates “kudos,” NI R&D considers it for implementation.
NI R&D is currently developing some ideas such as simplifying the Boolean diagram constant, adding the functionality to move or switch items in the connector pane (rather than disconnecting and reconnecting controls), and enhancing code readability by indicating the display format of string diagram constants.
The LabVIEW Idea Exchange is just one example of how National Instruments is continuously striving to improve products with the customer in mind. Whether it is an idea as creative as updating the front panel control, or one as pragmatic as eliminating a redundant step, all thoughts are valued in this stage of the LabVIEW development process. Take advantage of the LabVIEW Idea Exchange to help shape the future of graphical programming.
Give “kudos” to ideas you would like to see implemented in LabVIEW when you participate in the LabVIEW Idea Exchange
