Incongruous sightings of LabVIEW/NI
Those devices create a lot of "em-jay", but require an awful lot of "em-double-you" to do it. I couldn't keep listening. 😛
I did a lot of work on the Sea Wolf sonar, what the video refers to as the "Broad Aperture" but was called the "Wide Aperture Array" (WAA) when I worked on it. In the images of the Sea Wolf out of the water the WAA are the three billboard size rectangular bulges on each side of the hull. Wrote the test software for all of the outboard electronics, tested the first article array with the government witnesses at Seneca Lake, NY. The beginning work I did in Turbo Pascal (a whole lot of lines of code) with cool graphics, displaying FFT's etc., the later stuff in (drum roll) LabVIEW. Cool graphics, displaying FFT's but not nearly as much work/time to get them "written". Amusingly enough there was a room at our home facility in Syracuse that I needed to have an escort into, only there once to help debug someone else's stuff, that had a wall size photo mural of the WAA being lowered into Seneca Lake, some bearded guy in foul weather gear, black watch cap, on belay on a line steadying the array. It was a life size image of me, who couldn't be in the room with out an escort, clearance not high enough or no "need to know". Always amused me.
