LabVIEW framework for efficiency and quality
Sotronik has developed its own LabVIEW framework for creating control, production, inspection and test applications. The framework has matured over the years. It contains ready-made solutions and components for the creation of such LabVIEW software. Applications can be realized quickly and at a high quality level.
The framework includes:
- Modular design with parallel tasks
- Error handling
- Interfaces to configuration and log files
- Efficient and encapsulated data handling (constants and global variables)
- Possibility to run logic and visualization on different computers (easily configurable)
- Software design document template
- Sotronik library with various useful APIs (test sequencer, timing functions, ...)
- Integrated unit test framework
Preconfigured tool for static code analysis (with VI Analyzer) - Integrated bookmark manager for executing and documenting code reviews
- Interface to Git version control
- and much more ...
