Previous versions of this post incorrectly said Wednesday.

Bay Area LabVIEW User GroupIf you’re in the Bay Area, don’t miss next Wednesday’s Bay Area LabVIEW User Group meeting!

The Time: Tuesday, February 7th, 2012  5:45 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
The Place: The Lookout at 605 Macara, Sunnyvale, CA 94085
To Register: Sign up here.

JKI Project Engineer Joe Lee will give a talk called, “Closing the Loop: Generating LabVIEW Data Structures from XML.” He will be discussing how (and why) to use XML with LabVIEW for web application interfacing, configuration management, and flexible data storage. You will learn how to take XML data and start manipulating it right away using EasyXML, and if there’s time Joe will show off a new, unreleased EasyXML feature that analyzes XML code and generates the corresponding LabVIEW cluster automatically.

Joe will be joined at this meeting by NI Field Engineer Logan Herr, and Dmitry Sagatelyan from Arktur Technologies, who will each be sharing presentations on LabVIEW Design Patterns.

So come for the LabVIEW and stay for the food, drinks, and community! We hope to see you there.

JKI's EasyXML Toolkit wins LabVIEW Add-on of the Year award in the VI Library category

Live from NIWeek 2011… we’re delighted to announce that NI has selected JKI’s EasyXML Toolkit as a LabVIEW Add-on of the Year in the VI Library category!

The EasyXML Toolkit for LabVIEW is a simple set of VIs that make generating and parsing XML data in LabVIEW as easy as creating a cluster. It’s NI Certified as Gold Compatible with LabVIEW.

Try it! You can download the free trial directly from within LabVIEW 2011.  Just click on the Find LabVIEW Add-ons… link in the Getting Started window to launch the LabVIEW Tools Network. Search for EasyXML, and click the Install button.  VIPM will automatically download and install EasyXML into LabVIEW, and you’ll find it in your palettes immediately.

Also check out how NI uses the EasyXML toolkit to support the FIRST Robotics championships, in which NI Application Engineer Patrick Corcoran notes that “JKI’s EasyXML made XML easy, to the point that we may have gotten spoiled with it.”

National Instruments engineers Mark Black, Aaron Pena, Patrick Corcoran, and Kyle Smoot are part of NI’s on-the-ground “control system advisors” team for FRC.  They help teams solve technical problems and fix bugs (bugs?! what bugs??) in the robots during the competition.  For the 2011 event they’ve used LabVIEW and JKI’s EasyXML Toolkit to create an FRC Team Support application that allows teams in Saint Louis to use mobile devices to request technical support, and allows the control system advisors to remotely check and handle support tickets.  This means less time spent roaming around looking for people to help, and more time spent helping teams compete!
