* Program execution is based on dataflow. Hence functions execute only after receiving the necessary data. * | Tips* When a program saves an image (say 1132.png), it should save a log file w/ program settings etc. (say 1132_log.txt)
Checklist - Write programs
- Employ debugging techniques
- Manipulate built-in functions and VIs
- Create and save VIs so as to use them as sub-VIs
- Design custom graphical user interfaces
- Save data in a file and display it on a graph or a chart
- Build applications that use GPIB or serial instruments
- Create applications that use plug-in DAQ boards
- Use built-in analysis functions to process data
- Optimize the speed and performance of programs
- Employ advanced techniques such as state machines and event structures
- Control VIs and publish data over the internet or on the WWW using features like built-in web-server and remote panels
- Create instrumentation applications
