For DMC's 2014 Fed Ex Day, I spent time working on adapting the SEA Monster into a LabVIEW Object Oriented (LVOOP) format. DMC has, for many years, been developing a state machine architecture, in LabVIEW, well suited for industrial applications....
When writing a vision application, it’s easy to imagine noise within an image as a sinister character hiding in the shadows and fingering the end of a grease-slick mustache. "That’s a nice straight line you have there," his voic...
Being an engineer means you have unique skills to contribute to the world. These contributions can include improving quality of products, increasing efficiency, and generally allowing workers and companies to be more successful in their goals. ...
Using the LJV-7000 laser head is a no-brainer for any high speed imaging measurement system. This blog will discuss how to use LabVIEW to gain full control of the many useful settings and sampling speeds (up to 64 kHz) that the laser head boasts. ...
DMC is proud to be recognized as a National Instruments Vision Specialty Partner. Alliance Partners with the Vision Specialty understand system-level solutions for vision applications and can specify and integrate all of the necessary system componen...
DMC hosted another great LabVIEW User Group Meeting at our Chicago office last week. This year’s agenda included a recap of the recent NIWeek 2013 with personal anecdotes from the DMC team and a peek at new features and capabilities o...
I've just finished attending my first NI Week, and I've definitely picked up a bunch of useful skills! Having started with LabVIEW less than a year ago, I took advantage of learning the latest technologies, best practices, and tried and true ...
There's plenty to love about the field-programmable gate array, or FPGA. It is essentially a customizable silicon chip that you can reprogram as many times as you want or need to in order to achieve specialized high-speed processing. In many case...
Welcome to NIWeek 2013! The annual National Instruments conference kicked off Monday in Austin, Texas with an Alliance-Member-only day including keynote and information sessions geared towards integrators. This year's keynote welcomed the larg...
It can sometimes be a challenge to create good looking User Interfaces in LabVIEW – or at least UIs that don’t look like they were built in LabVIEW. One of the easiest ways to make your UIs look a little flashier is to add custom buttons ...
