When you want to quickly pull together a combination of media and user interaction, looking to some building blocks for the heavy lifting can be a lifesaver. That’s the idea behind Max, a graphical ...

In the previous discussion, we started examining on design supports such as MATLAB and Simulink on ARM Cortex-M processor-based microcontrollers. In this installment, we will explore on LabVIEW™, a ...

I've always been a fan of pot pie. Why have a chicken breast, a side of mixed vegetables, and pie for dessert when you can just cram them all into one neat little package? Besides, if I eat pot pie ...

Though PLC (programmable logic controller) programming languages may not receive the attention that general computing programming languages, such as JavaScript, C#, or Python do, they remain critical ...

Its graphical dataflow language and block diagram approach naturally represent the flow of data and intuitively map user interface controls to data, so programmers can easily view and modify data or ...

There is a long history of Visual or Graphical Programming Languages, and most of them make more sense than the name of Microsoft’s Visual Basic, C#, and Visual Studio IDE. Some people don’t like to ...

Jeff Kodosky, co-founder and business and technology fellow at National Instruments, was an architect of the LabView graphical programming language. On visit to the NIDays technology conference in ...
