Labview – embedded - part time (Homeworking)

£20ph -3mc - 2 days a week - Home working
Labview – embedded - part time
A part time Labview, engineer is required immediately for a home working role for 2 days a week on a 3 month contract. The candidate would be required to be testing hardware using Labview so would need a good appreciation of testing environments and hardware.
The company is an innovator in its field, creating and producing cutting edge products to be used in the science field.
Key Skills:
Labview
Testing environments
Preferably Hardware background

It might help if you mentioned where this project is. Monthly "face to face" meeting is a little vague on an international forum.
I might ask what is to be accomplished in a "face to face" (presumably physically face to face) that can't, in this day and age, be accomplished with GoToMeeting, WebEx or Skype video meetings? I'm currently working on projects in Asia, Europe and Latin America, without having to leave my central location in N.America, except when I have to be present for actual hardware installation/commissioning. And even that has been reduced by Remote Desk Top, DameWare or some equivalent.

  • 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
    http://www.rgm-isis.com/prod01.htm here is one of the few screen shots.
    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]

  • LabVIEW Embedded - Performance Testing - Different Platforms

    Hi all,
    I've done some performance testing of LabVIEW on various microcontroller development boards (LabVIEW Embedded for ARM) as well as on a cRIO 9122 Real-time Controller (LabVIEW Real-time) and a Dell Optiplex 790 (LabVIEW desktop). You may find the results interesting. The full report is attached and the final page of the report is reproduced below.

    Analysis
    For microcontrollers, single loop programming can retain almost 100% of the processing power. Such programming would require that all I/O is non-blocking as well as use of interrupts. Multiple loop programming is not recommended, except for simple applications running at loop rates less than 200 Hz, since the vast majority of the processing power is taken by LabVIEW/OS overhead.
    For cRIO, there is much more processing power available, however approximately 70 to 80% of it is lost to LabVIEW/OS overhead. The end result is that what can be achieved is limiting.
    For the Desktop, we get the best of both worlds; extraordinary processing power and high efficiency.
    Speculation on why LabVIEW Embedded for ARM and LabVIEW Real-time performance is so poor puts the blame on excessive context switch. Each context switch typically takes 150 to 200 machine cycles and these appear to be inserted for each loop iteration. This means that tight loops (fast with not much computation) consume enormous amounts of processing power. If this is the case, an option to force a context switch every Nth loop iteration would be useful.

    LabVIEW Desktop has many attractive features. This explain why LabVIEW Desktop is so successful and is the vast majority of National Instruments’ software sales (and consequently results in the vast majority of hardware sales). It is National Instruments’ flagship product and is the precursor to the other LabVIEW offerings. The execution platform is powerful, available in various form factors from various sources and is competitively priced.
    LabVIEW Real-time on a cRIO/sb-RIO is a lot less attractive. To make this platform attractive the execution platform cost needs to be vastly decreased while increasing the raw processing power. It would also be beneficial to examine why the LabVIEW/OS overhead is so high. A single plug-in board no larger than 75 x 50 mm (3” x 2”) with a single unit price under $180 would certainly make the sb-RIO a viable execution platform. The peripheral connectors would not be part of the board and would be accessible via a connector. A developer mother board could house the various connectors, but these are not needed when incorporated into the final product. The recently released Xilinx Zynq would be a great chip to use ($15 in volume, 2 x ARM Cortex A9 at 800 MHz (4,000 MIPS), FPGA fabric and lots more).
    LabVIEW Embedded for ARM is very OEM friendly with development boards that are open source with circuit diagrams available. To make this platform attractive, new more capable Tier 1 boards will need to be introduced, mainly to counter the large LabVIEW/OS overhead. As before, these target boards would come from microcontroller manufacturers, thereby making them inexpensive and open source. It would also be beneficial to examine why the LabVIEW/OS overhead is so high. What is required now is another Tier 1 boards (eg. DK-LM3S9D96 (ARM Cortex M3 80 MHz/96 MIPS)). Further Tier 1 boards should be targeted every two years (eg. BeagleBoard-xM (ARM Cortex A8 1000 MHz/2000 MIPS board)) to keep LabVIEW Embedded for ARM relevant.

    LabVIEW Embedded - Performance Testing - Different Platforms.pdf ‏307 KB

    I've got to say though, it would really be good if NI could further develop the ARM embedded toolkit.
    In the industry I'm in, and probably many others, control algorithm development and testing oocurs in labview. If you have a good LV developer or team, you'll end up with fairly solid, stable and tested code. But what happens now, once the concept is validated, is that all this is thrown away and the C programmers create the embedded code that will go into the real product.
    The development cycle starts from scratch. 
    It would be amazing if you could strip down that code and deploy it onto ARM and expect it to not be too inefficient. Development costs and time to market go way down.. BUT, but especially in the industry I presently work in, the final product's COST is extremely important. (These being consumer products, chaper micro cheaper product) . 
    These concerns weight HEAVILY. I didn't get a warm fuzzy about the ARM toolkit for my application. I'm sure it's got its niches, but just imagine what could happen if some more work went into it to make it truly appealing to wider market...

  • LabView Embedded and Colinux

    I am going to try to get LabView embedded to run with ucLinux on a blackfin BF537 EZKit.  In doing my initial reading, it seems like the ADI toolchain is tested in Colinux but not in cygwin so I was wondering if anyone out there has tried running Colinux with LabView embedded and if so, how did it go.  I don't know if it will really make a difference, but i guess Colinux is more than just an emulator, it is actually a second kernel that runs in paralell with windows so I am not sure how this will affect the whole process.  I am new to the whole world of embedded programming andI am just trying to assemble as much information as I can before I launch into this to keep myself from wasting time on setups that aren't going to work.  Thanks for the info.
    -james

    Hi James,
    I'm not aware of anyone running CoLinux with LabVIEW Embedded, though that certainly doesn't preclude the possibility of it working.  At the moment, we have an entire LabVIEW module prebuilt for working with the VDK operating system on the Blackfin EZ-Kits, but we don't have a pre-built uclinux target available.  If you're using the Embedded Development Module (and not the Embedded Module for Blackfin Processors), then we can make this happen by porting LV Embedded to a new uclinux target.  As part of this process, you'll need to script the build toolchain to communicate from Windows to the build tools located on your Colinux virtual machine.  One way that might work for you is to automate SSHing into the linux VM, sending it the file to compile, invoke your build tools, then send the result files back to LabVIEW on the Windows side.
    Cheers,
