doing labview blind folded

[freemason]

Hi all,

This question is purely out of curiosity nothing technical

Just wanted to know different views on how can someone write a code in labview blind folded. (some one used to say you should practice and practice until you can do it closing your eyes, thats why this question popped up in my mind)

have any of you tried and succeeded atleast to some extent?

I am assuming for text based languages, one might achieve since he/she will be famailiar with the keyboard and who is good at typing with out typos may achieve to some extent.

but in a G-prog like LV is it possibl.

how do you know which vi are you selecting, is there an audible version of each vi, where to place them etc. 

can we program something like text to speech for LV.

Thanks,

this might intrest you

Are you working on becoming a LabVIEW master? Getting your blackbelt? I wounder if there will require us to program with a blindfold to get recertified?

You nedd to take this rock from my hand grasshopper.....!!!

My first thought was a form of a net-list.  Programming LabVIEW is very similar like drawing a electronic schematic. The schematic can be translatet into a net-list like in  SPICE . The LabVIEW compiler is doing so already (I assume) . Never dealed with LV scripting, however the LV diagram is just one way to generate that list, text is another, voice in it's simplest form is audible text.

LabVIEW is: Think it. Draw it. Run it.   The picture is the program. The 'strongest' sense are our eyes, that's why a picture tells us more (and faster)  than words.

What is the strongest sense of a blind folded? Sound?  

So a blind folded will need LabSOUND . Composing the code, follow the data waves ?? Think it. Compose it. Run it??

The challenging part is to make structures audible... maybe a some beat rythm if you are inside a loop (that code rocks 😄 )?? Different notes for different cases?

Nice to navigate, just humm the note and you are at/in the case you want 😉

Open/close vi with a door sound? (Hey the OS already have these sounds, if you want), but how to tell it LabSOUND?? 

Or is it tactile: Using Force feedback dataglows to build your code? Bending the wires, force them through a typecasting bench vise??

But stop it's not friday ... still need something serious to do, but what a nice breakpoint, thank you freemason 😉

Umm.  If you're going to hum, why not just speak?  No sense learning extra rhythms and beats.

Imagine mousing over a newb's diagram that did not know they could re-size a compound arithmetic "...and, and,and, and,and, and,and, and,and, and,..."

My PC would sound likes its stuttering.
