Can a freelance LabVIEW programmer become an Alliance Member?

Looking at the application form it is clear that NI are (understandably) only interested in established companies who will generate lots of hardware sales for them. What about all the talented LabVIEW application and instrument driver developers who work on contract with smaller companies - any exposure for us? These are exactly the kind of people who need a central advertising space but cannot normally fund it themselves.

This isn't an official answer, but I can tell you what I have seen.
There are individuals that enter into the alliance program. They
typically have expertise in some area that makes them a good integration
choice for engineers using NI products. The key in my opinion is to
gain the confidence of the local sales person and convince them that the
regional users of NI products would be better off if you were doing
integration work with the allianc
e program affiliation. You can also do
integration and not be in the alliance program.
Ultimately, the salesperson wants to see the people they sell products
to be successful in using them. If you have something to add to this
situation, then they will be open to sponsoring you into the program.
If you are looking to get your feet wet and get some experience, what
I'd recommend is approaching an existing alliance member in your area, a
busy one, and let them know that you are interested in free-lance work.
It will let you try things out, see if this sort of work is up your
alley. If things work out, then you have something to approach the
salesperson with.

    Dear Sir,
    I am very much interested to have freelance projects related to labview. I also had done 2 free lance projects for University of South Australia in june 2009. I also have conducted 2 workshops on LabVIEW in my university (NEDUET is a license holder of LabVIEW).
    The freelance projects are:

    • Efficient Simulation of SCADA system of Unsought Tablets Detection for Pharmaceutical Industries – Extremely perfect and efficient approach to simulate any industrial plant. Two Vis were designed for this simulation, one simulates the server and other simulates the plant, and they both were linked to each other through global communication functions, designed for the course of Virtual Instrumentation Programming, University of South Australia, June’09

  • Freelance LabVIEW Programmer

    Hi everyone!
    I'm here to offer my services to anyone who is in search of a freelance programmer.  I'm 24 and currently a 3rd year student in Electrical engineering .  I've been programming pretty intensively for almost 4 years now in my current job (part-time for now!).  I have a few projects under my belt, many of which are fairly extensive.  I have very good knowledge of radiofrequencies, specifically microwave range, ActiveX (COM in general), GPIB instrument control, OOP programming in LabVIEW, etc. etc.
    I'm simply offering my help because I enjoy programming in LabVIEW and would like to make a few extra bucks in my spare time working from home (being a full-time student with a job leaves me with only a few hours a week).
    My main fields of interest are RF and biomed but I will review any type of project that is offered to me.  Hourly rate is very negociable, I'm a student after all!
    I'm located in Montréal, Québec, Canada (Oui, ma langue maternelle est le français (québécois )!
    Anyone looking for more information can contact me at: [email protected]
    Thanks for the interest!
    Yohan Belval

    Thanks for the info!

  • Freelance LabView Programmers where are you?

    I am searching for a freelance LabView programmer (in N.Wales / Manchester U.K.) does anyone know of a site that connects projects to freelancers?

    Do you need someone locally, or will a telecommuter be appropriate? I find it useful to have contractors working on the other side of the world - you can give them a task at 5pm, and the answer's on you desk (ie: in your email inbox!) by 9am the next day...
    cheers,

  • Part time LabVIEW programmer needed

    Hi All,
    I am looking for a part time LabVIEW programmer to help maintain and enhance
    an existing LabVIEW application.
    The company is located in Central Florida area - someone local would be most
    desireable. The program is fairly complex and interfaces with proprietary
    DAQ hardware. If you have less than 2 years of experience, its probably
    more than you would want to tackle.
    Goto http://www.rgm-isis.com/ to see product info

    If you are interested please respond to [email protected], please don't
    respond to the E-Mail that this is posted from.
    The web site also has phone numbers and addresses.
    Thanks
    Chris

    Chris;
    I realize you are looking for a permanent Labview programmer, but you might find the flexibility and cost effectiveness of having a contractor working on a project basis an attractive alternative.
    We are a small group of programmers who specialize in, but are definitely not limited to, LabVIEW and DAQ applications. Our model is a little unusual in that we contract through a company in Connecticut, while we are individually located throughout the country (CT, TX, AZ, CA).
    Every one of us has a degree in some engineering discipline with varied levels and types of industry experience. We try to match up an engineer(s) to a particular assignment based on their expertise. They also become the point of contact for all contract negotiations.
    Generally, we tr
    y to complete a project with minimal to no site visits, for two main reasons: it helps us keep the cost of a project down; given the scope of most one-time assignments, it is completely unnecessary. We have enough instrumentation and equipment to test most smaller systems. Granted, we may not own any particular instrument that you happen to be using (we won't have a $30k Tektronix logic analyzer!), but we can make special arrangements as required.
    If you are interested and want further information, feel free to contact me at [email protected]

  • Is it possible for visa/labview to become confused?

    I have an application that uses visa serial comms to read  quartzdyne sensors from a Qlink module. Two sensors are used. Each sensor measures both P and T. After approx 30 mins of operation it was noted/logged that Sensor A’s value reverts to sensor B’s labiew indicator, and sensors B’s values reverts to A’s indicators in labview. Like labview has becomes confused and swapped them over!
    It reverted when labview was momentarily unable to read sensors A; the value was displayed in labview as ‘0’. I can live with a momentary loss, however i cant live with the values swapping over like that.
    Is this something anyone has came across before?

    The delay is not the most reliable way to handle such situations.
    Does the messages sent from the devices have some identifier?
    Or you could read a specific number of characters, or up until a message seperator.

  • How to start a second labview programme automatically when first programme is aborted ?

    Hi,
    I have two independent labview programme. I want to run one programme at first. Second programme should start automatically if first programme is aborted by clicking abort button. Could you please help me in this regard.
    Thanks

    Would it not be better to close the meters when you close the application and have your application exit gracefully rather than having it start another one?

  • How can I use the CAN MODULE in LABVIEW 6i?

    How can I use the CAN MODULE in LABVIEW 6i?
    HELP ME! PLEASE

    Not sure what your real question here is, but I'll take a stab at it.
    The NI-CAN drivers (module) only work with the NI CAN cards. If you have a different vendors card, you'll have to contact them to see if they have LabVIEW drivers.
    If you do have a NI CAN card, then you just need to install the NI-CAN drivers and you're ready to go. Have a look at the examples for help in getting going.
    If you're having a specific problem, please give us some more details and we may be able to help out a bit more.
