LabWindows/CVI 2013 Idea Exchange Features Implemented

[Anna_K.]

Thank you for your participation in the LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange!

LabWindows/CVI 2013 contains 11 user-suggested features sourced from the LabWindows/CVI Idea Exchange, including improved function navigation in source code, virtual subfolders in the Project Tree, graph grid line styles, graph plot transparency, the Array Display window integrated into workspace, and more.

The Idea Exchange is the most direct route of communication between LabWindows/CVI users and the NI development team. It gives programmers an avenue to collaborate on feature ideas and communicate these suggestions to National Instruments. Since its inception in 2010, LabWindows/CVI users have contributed over 300 ideas and feature suggestions to the exchange and over 25 of these have been implemented to better meet the needs of LabWindows/CVI developers. Programmers are invited to influence future versions of LabWindows/CVI by submitting a new idea or voting on existing requests.
