Simple Teststand UI API for LabVIEW

[Mathis_B]

Like many people I know how painful it is to program a Teststand user interface in LabVIEW.

To combat that I have developed a new API which wraps the ActiveX calls into modern object oriented code which follows proper LabVIEW programming paradigms.

Please check it out:

This is pretty much beta software, so constructive feedback on the code or the article itself is greatly appreciated.

I have now posted an update to my previous article about the simple Teststand user interface API/framework.

Following feedback I have included both the underlying code as well as the examples in a single package. The package does now also provide a project template which should greatly speed up the process of creating your own Teststand user interfaces.

Thanks a lot! Please feel free to totally slate me for it 🙂

Feedback has so far been very scarce (I know it's quite a niche problem) but is really helping me to improve things and make it more usable.

Hey Mathis_B, 

Thanks for posting this, it was a really good read. 

This is a very detailed example and I'm sure it will help people in future working on this topic.
