NI Certified LabVIEW Developer, NI Week Winner, Author of LabHSM, a Toolkit for Complex Event-Driven Development in LabVIEW
Thank you for your interest. If you need a LabVIEW developer, you will find that my resume which is attached, outlines why I am an excellent fit for a position with your company.
In addition to my broad educational background including two Masters Degrees in Electrical Engineering and Physics, numerous Computer Science courses taken, and twelve years of diverse experience in programming, system administration, and support, I am a National Instruments Certified LabVIEW Developer. As you can see on the National Instruments website, there are only about 400 people worldwide who were granted this title. I have a history of numerous successful projects in the areas of industrial automation, control and data acquisition. In particular, I have implemented several LabVIEW test systems projects including the following:
- Real-Time Natural Gas Mixtures Characterization System, based on near infrared absorption spectroscopic data for Gas Technology Institute;
- Real-Time Electron Beam Doses Monitoring, Beam Parameters Measurement, and Ion Charge Measurement Systems for Steris Corporation (NI WEEK 2003 BEST APPLICATION CONTEST WINNER in R&D/Lab Automation Category);
- Control and Data Acquisition Program for an Electron Spectrometer System in the Western Michigan University Accelerator Laboratory;
- LIMS II (Temperature Test), Surge Test Automation, Locked Rotor Test, Variable Ambient Chamber Control and Data Acquisition systems for Underwriters Laboratories (UL);
- Abrasion Wear Test for Caterpillar;
- Distributed Data Acquisition and Reporting System for Hydraulic Spray Nozzles Testing for Spraying Systems Co.
Descriptions and code examples of projects I have done are available upon request.
It was me who created LabHSM (http://labhsm.com), a toolkit for advanced event-driven development in LabVIEW. It allows creating complex applications as a collection of active object type components that have uniform structure, but different purposes. Each component runs independently providing services to other components and exchanging data via standardized queued messages. The resulting code has the same structure and looks similar regardless of specific functionality. It is easily readable and modifiable by developers other than the author. LabHSM implements the powerful paradigm of hierarchical state machines (Harel/UML statecharts) and has a separate specialized editor for defining component behavior on a higher level of abstraction.
I also have done several projects involving HMI, digital I/O, motion control, communication between a PC and PLC's, using Visual Basic, Think & Do, Steeplechase and other software tools.
My experience and background enable me to master any software development tool quickly, making me a perfect candidate who can always keep up with the ever-changing world of computer technologies.
I am looking forward to discussing this opportunity with you.

A new version of the unique toolkit is now available for download. As announced earlier, LabHSM makes it possible to easily create and then maintain complex event-driven applications in LabVIEW as a collection of HSM-driven active object VIs using a higher level of abstraction and agile software development methodologies. These active object VIs are created based on a universal Hierarchical State Machine ( HSM or statechart ) template. Therefore, all your code looks similar regardless of its functionality!
So, what’s new in version 1.1.1?
The code (made in LabVIEW 7.0 for Windows) now comes complete with block diagrams (password protected).
Simpler debugging code in the full template.
Extra menu items in the editor to open VIs as well as HSM files - nice to have when the LabHSM editor is the only VI open.
Copying of default actions is now implemented correctly.
No more run-time licenses! Just buy a developer's license once and distribute as many applications as you like!
The "Demo_" prefix is no longer required for VIs created in the trial version.
No more nag messages while running your HSMs!
As before, the LabHSM toolkit is available for UNLIMITED PERIOD trial. Please visit http://www.labhsm.com for details and download. The site also contains references which you may want to check to learn more about hierarchical state machines and active object computing.

New version of the LabHSM Toolkit for Complex Event-Driven Development is Now Available!
A new version of the unique toolkit is now available for download. As announced earlier, LabHSM makes it possible to easily create and then maintain complex event-driven applications in LabVIEW as a collection of HSM-driven active object VIs using a higher level of abstraction and agile software development methodologies. These active object VIs are created based on a universal Hierarchical State Machine ( HSM or statechart ) template. Therefore, all your code looks similar regardless of its functionality!
So, what’s new in version 1.1?
• "No hands" block diagram modifications! Version 1.1 actually creates, renames, and removes actions on the block diagram as you define, rename, and remove them in the editor! (No, it can't fill in all the details for you, but it can do some, if you think ahead, by replicating similar actions.)
• Two new screens, Events Usage and Actions Usage, (available in licensed copies only) clearly show where (in which state(s)/transition(s)) and how (is it an entry action, exit action or event handling action?) a particular event or action is used. Moreover, if after selecting an instance on the list, the Go To button is pressed, it makes the main screen jump to respective location in the HSM structure. In the case of Actions Usage screen, the respective action is also displayed on the block diagram. Thus, these screens provide two more different cross-sections of the HSM data set and two additional ways to navigate it – now along the Actions and Events dimensions too instead of just the state tree in the first version.
• Version 1.1 can duplicate events or actions, which helps when you've got several that are similar. Changes in the events and actions lists are reflected immediately on the main screen and on the block diagram (which solves the previous problem of deleting a renamed event or action when it's still in use).
• The Events and Actions List Editors are no longer modal and neither are the Events and Actions Usage screens, so you can have all the panels and the block diagram visible and move freely among them as you build your HSM (a good argument for an even larger monitor).
• When you save an HSM file, version 1.1 automatically adds the .hsm extension if you leave it out and it remembers the last directory you used.
• The Loaded VIs utility now can open and close block diagrams (if they are not protected with a password) and display only VIs with modal front panels, if desired—useful for quickly finding and closing accidentally opened (e.g., from the hierarchy window) modal VIs. Make a modal version of this utility and keep it on the Desktop for this purpose.
• A new example of a simple hierarchical state machine and two more excellent tutorials from Paul F. Sullivan (SULLutions.com) are included into the package. The tutorials are also available online. The overview article has also been extended.

Huge Basic Price Drop for LabHSM Toolkit for advanced event-driven development
Dear fellow LabVIEWers :
I am happy to announce that to increase the attractiveness of the LabHSM toolkit the basic price was just dropped from about $1,000 to just $249!
As our website says, the price is not set in stone (even this new low one!). We encourage the prospective clients to make us an offer and we promise that no reasonable offer will be refused. So, some people have already done exactly that – told us a price they could afford and we sold them LabHSM at THEIR price. However, it seems to us that too many people don’t like the (too high in their opinion) basic price but still don’t notice the “Make us an offer” option (despite very large font and bright color) and/or just hesitate to make an offer. We hope that the new, significantly reduced basic price will make the toolkit more attractive to those folks who don’t like to negotiate.

Ltd.Description:An invaluable aid in the effective understanding and troubleshooting of the faults associated with Railway Coach Air Braking System. The fault trainer has a teacher panel that can be kept out of student control. The teacher can create faults using this panel. The student panel has an array of buttons necessary to monitor various system parameters respectively. The student then has to follow laid down fault finding procedure and locate the fault. ● DIESEL ENGINE TRAINER using NI LabVIEW 8.5: Company: C. C. Engineers Pvt. Ltd. Description: Diesel Engine Trainer is process of testing faulty Loco. The main goal of our project was to simulate faults occurring in Diesel engine for railway trainees. Software was divided into two parts Teacher and Student. Teacher selects fault and student finds out particular cause of fault. Student finds fault using Symptom, Input Description and remedial action. Input Description is accessed from hardware having 32 buttons using RS232 communication. Two Monitors divided by NVIDIA Graphics card were used. ● Simulated Data Acquisition and Device control using NI LabVIEW 7.1:Description: Input was taken as temperature through a thermocouple from DAQ device. The LabVIEW code would accept this input and record its average value along with the values of voltage and current, over given time in a text file. If the temperature exceeded a fixed threshold value, the DAQ would send an output signal through one of its configured ports which would control a bulb through a relay. This LabVIEW Code could also be controlled remotely through internet, or on a Local Area Network. If my skillset match any open positions, please mail me to [email protected]
Thanks a lot!

Certification Nugget: CLAD - Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer
About the CLAD Exam:
The clad_exam_prep_guide_english.pdf states that "A CLAD demonstrates a broad and complete understanding of the core features and functionality available in the LabVIEW Full Development System and possesses the ability to apply that knowledge to develop, debug, and maintain small LabVIEW modules." In other words, you should be able to to string LabVIEW functions together into meaningful LabVIEW code in accordance with LabVIEW best practices. You are mostly book-learned, but can develop and maintain small VIs, updating them as necessary.
The test itself is a one-hour multiple-choice exam with a passing grade of 70% and is available at Pearson VUE testing centers or NI branch offices. You'll get something to write on, and something to write with, in case you have to work out some problems.
NI Preparation Information:
The Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD) Exam Preparation E-Kit is National Instrument's official CLAD exam prep kit. You will find links to their exam prep guide, practice exams and other helpful items.
My Journey to become an NI Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer:
After quickly reviewing a sample CLAD test, in May of 2013 I walked into a test center, took the test and passed. Simple, huh? In truth, it was the culmination of about seven years of preparation - although I hadn't thought of it as such back then. It was all about visiting the NI LabVIEW Forum at least once a day, even if I had no questions to ask. Sometimes I just combed the forum looking for interesting topics. If I didn't understand something, I wasn't afraid to ask questions. I wasn't afraid to defend my position. (And occasionally I was even right!) Eventually I found that I was answering questions as well as asking them. My next question to ask was to myself: "Why not try the CLAD test?" So I glanced at a sample test, realized it felt more like a review than a test, walked into a test center, took the test and passed.
The reason behind my getting certified was to have something on my resume to compete with LabVIEW developers that had twice as much experience - or more - than I did. Seven years of experience may seem like a lot, but it's not.
Since then, I had become a CLD. With the CLAD, I showed that I knew basic LabVIEW concepts; with the CLD, I showed that, not only could I talk the talk, I could walk the walk. (The CLA shows that you can talk the talk and walk the walk, all while chewing gum and juggling a few chainsaws.)
My Personal Recommendations to Candidates:
This section will be a bit different than the corresponding sections in the other certification nuggets because there are really no specific strategies to doing well on the test other than know how to do well on a multiple choice exam. Instead, I will focus how to gather the LabVIEW knowledge necessary for you to pass the exam as well as discuss the path forward. That being said:
Check out the CLAD kit for sure, but I cannot stress enough the importance of being a regular visitor to the NI LabVIEW forum. The LabVIEW Gurus live there. Ask questions. Ask for clarification. Fill up from the information fire hose. If you're like me, it will only make you thirstier.
Follow the tutorials listed here (at the bottom, Looking for Free Training).
If you own a copy of LabVIEW or have LabVIEW installed at work, check to see if there is an active SSP. Oftentimes your employer doesn't even realize that the license includes free online training and is very glad to let you make use of it. Just make sure you get permission. It is their license, not yours. With the SSP you can take the online equivalents of the LabVIEW CORE classes (1,2 and 3) as well as a host of other courses.
Get the LabVIEW Home Bundle! It's the LabVIEW FULL Development system - for $50! You can't use it for commercial use, but heck. FIFTY BUCKS! Nothing like learning by doing.
Use the CLAD as a stepping stone to your CLD. You got your CLAD to distinguish yourself from the crowd only to learn that having a CLAD is like being a second lieutenant in the army. (Hint: The army is full of them.) Study hard and get that CLD! Become a senior officer! Show the world - and yourself - that you are serious about LabVIEW!
Comments?
I hope you found this nugget to be useful. I invite you to share your CLAD experiences: "The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat," as it were. To the candidates: Study hard. Soak up the wealth of information from the NI LabVIEW forum. Fear not the CLAD test.gregoryj wrote:
I've been hesitant to take the CLAD because I've read that it really doesn't mean much, and should not be taken if you don't intend to take the CLD. In my current position, I never work in a team (on software) or make very large applications, so I'm not sure my experience would prepare me for the CLD.
While it's true that it is a stepping stone to the CLD, it can also be used as a measuring stick to see how much you really know about LabVIEW. I actually think it could benefit you greatly because it will really make you start thinking "LabVIEW" if you haven't already. It's cheap and it's a short test. It could be a wise investment.
Plus, many places I've interviewed for give you a few questions right out of the practice exams to gauge your experience level. If you show that you're a CLAD, they may waive that test. In fact, some LabVIEW houses have been known to take a CLAD and train them up the a CLD - and pay for the test! -

If you don't hate time zones, you're not a real programmer.
"You are what you don't automate"
Inplaceness is synonymous with insidiousness -
Dear Fellow LabVIEW programmers:
Most of the systems you deal with are reactive. It means that their
primary function is constant interaction with their environment by
sending and receiving events. But most likely, they can have something
happening inside them too, even when they are not processing messages
received from outside. So, such systems have to continuosly react to
external and internal stimuli. Right? Moreover, most likely, they
consist of subsystems that are reactive too and, in turn, can have
their own "life", to an extent independent from other parts (with
which they still communicate, of course). Reactive (event-driven)
systems are more naturally modeled with active objects. So, why then
should we try to model and code them with GOOP and its passive
("dead"!) objects?
"Flat" State Machines have been known for decades to have severe
limitations. It's been more than 20 years since Dr. Harel invented
Hierarchical State Machines (statecharts) to fight those limitations.
Then why does NI still tout the same old good Moore FSM as the
ultimate tool for event-driven programming in LabVIEW in its $995
State Diagram KIt?
The LabHSM toolkit we are happy to present, makes it possible to
easily create and then maintain complex event-driven applications in
LabVIEW as a collection of HSM-driven active object VIs using a higher
level of abstraction and agile software development methodologies.
These active object VIs are created based on a universal Hierarchical
State Machine ( HSM or statechart ) template. So. all your code looks
similar regardless of its functionality!
We all love just jump to code, right? However, to be good boys, we
need to do design first. Then implement it in code. If the logic is
modified we need to redo the design first and then redo the code. When
using LabHSM where behavior information is abstracted into a separate
HSM data file editable with a supplied editor, there is no need for
coding separate from design any more. The modified behavior becomes
code automatically as soon as the HSM file is saved. Design is code!
The implementation basically follows Dr. Samek's Quantum Programming
paradigm. (see http://www.quantum-leaps.com). However, as already
mentioned, LabHSM stores the behavior information in a file separate
from the code itself. It also adds state dependent priorities to
events, a separate queue for public events/messages, and, of course,
some LabVIEW specific code like capturing front panel user events and
putting them into the private Events queue. Communication and
instantiation functions are also rather specific for LabVIEW.
It is available for UNLIMITED PERIOD trial. Please visit
http://www.labhsm.com for details and download. The site also contains
references which you may want to check to learn more about
hierarchical state machines and active object computing.
Since this is our debut we will appreciate any comments and
suggestions. Our contact information is available on our site, of
course.

SPC Toolkit for LabVIEW - where is it in the labview (8.5) developer suite?
I started using SPC toolkit for a project in Labview 8.2.1, had no problem until I upgraded my system to labview 8.5. It said something like:
Some subvis are too old to be converted to 8.5.
I went to the Labview Developer suite CD album (labview 8.5), and couldn't find the SPC for LabVIEW, only for LabWindows / CVI. Then I went to NI's website and tried to find more about the toolkit, it seems this one had disappeared into thin air, along with the Enterprise connectivity toolkit (or Enterprice toolkit).
Does anybody know if NI stopped developing / supporting the SPC toolkit? Or if NI included it into other toolkit or product?
Thanks,
-JoeHi
sorry for a silly question, but I tried to locate the LabVIEW DSC Module 8.5 in my Professional development environment and I cannot find it.
Would you please tell me which disk is it on?
thanks

How do I put data into a template using the Labview report generation toolkit for Microsoft Office?
I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks

Jason PhillipsLookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.
