Thanks for the reminder.

 

Whatever I use I'll be testing the circuits with resistors to simulate the pyros before I actually hook them up.

Based upon your comment I am definitely paying attention to the power on state.  I thought about this problem before so I've written some VI's with an "ARMED" button and a "FIRE" button to prevent the voltage output when starting the VI.

 

Our standard method is to plug the leads directly into the powered-up power supply.   That will be our final safety measure.

Oh WOW,

 

I just saw this thread.  Pyrotechnics + Novice EE And Novice Software developer....

 

Your company training costs might just be re-invested in workmans comp claims...

 

Have you ever seen a episode of Mythbusters?  get a trained professional.  Let them blow themself up and keep all of your fingers, toes, eyes, legs etc....(Those things you were born with that you might just like to keep)
