Incongruous sightings of LabVIEW/NI

A cake shop could probably make you an edible version of that.

Tom Scott does all kinds of interesting things (his rants at the Computerphile channel are always fun - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL96C35uN7xGLux5q2c4P_IqbKF11-pfsR ).

Anyway, one of his recent videos was in a wind tunnel, where the LV program for the control system stands out easily - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0fViGU-Snc

So one of the tech sites had a story about a machine playing the violin. The concept was not super unique (the most immediate example which came to mind was the Guitar Hero demo), but I figured I would give it a look - http://www.sethgoldsteinkineticsculptures.com/

The website isn't that great (each machine only has a small section), but then I did notice a familiar name in the description ("Computer control was provided by Randall Pursley"), so I looked at the linked video and sure enough:

Es gibt auch ein PXI-chassis im Hintergrund des ersten Foto, nicht wahr? 🙂

Ja, es ist!

I am a member of Sigma Pi Sigma so I get updates from Physics Today including job listings. I review them just to keep up but I found a interesting job listed...

A LabVIEW Developer.

This is the URL

May be one of Y'all can make use of this info.

Otherwise take it as sign that LV has become a part of the physics world.

LV has been in the physics world for years. I know they use LabVIEW at the CERN supercollider to control the imaging. I doublt they do any math with it, tho, since most of CERN's math code was probably written 30 years ago in Fortran. Nothing really new happens in physics very often.

That responsibility should narrow the field a bit 😛
