Just to update, I am done with basic level of C# . NET tutorials, and I now feel that C# is too powerful and flexible than LabVIEW! 😮

It is a complete Object Oriented driven language.......Waiting to see complete OOP features in LabVIEW soon(LV has a limit on OOP features when compared to C#)... NI are you listening?

I don't know about it being more powerful and flexible than LabVIEW. Both languages have their strengths and weaknesses. I would agree, though, that C# is a far better environment over LabVIEW as far as OO is concerned.

HP Vee. Seen it. It's okay.. Vee was LabVIEW's rival.. Now, very few places still use it. As a matter of fact, one place was desperately looking for a Vee programmer. I think they went to LabVIEW Kudos! Thanks!

I agree that VEE was LV's rival,since agilent and HP's instruments were much more better than that of NI's some time back.

Also it was easy to control agilent/HP instruments easier via VEE.

I also see some of the very complex projects that have done in vee and was thinking why did they "drew" so many blocks when it could be done simpler in LabVIEW? The answer i got was some of their ATE were pretty old more than 10 years

Guru.

I've been doing Embedded C++ for the past 2 years..  The only LabVIEW code is what I post here in the forum  😞

Good thing there is this forum..  😉

Yeah... HP was keen on having nice drivers for their products whereas the LabVIEW drivers were...   how to say it politely...  $h!##%...  😮

HP Vee reminded me of some of the modelling software package that I was using on MACs back in the mid 1990's.  Can't remember the name..  For some strange reason the word Exceed comes to mind..   Ah... the good old days... Being young and foolish...  Then again...  Maybe I was a bit too foolish..  😉   Oh yeah..  that's also when I was first introduced to a wonderful graphical language..  🙂

I'm starting to sound like Grampa Simpson, aren't I?

Oh I remember back in 1927... In those days, Coke was actually made with Cocaine...  Anyways, we used to go to the Nickelodeon...  For a nickel, you could spend an entire half hour at the movie house...  And then....

When I was in Agilent & Avago Singapore a few years back, the answers I got for similar questions were they had to run/support ATEs that were >20 yrs old. So, they have been using their own (Agilent was erstwhile HP) VEE IDE to develop ATE applications in house. Some were even running on Turbo C environment, without even any normal UI.

Just requested an evaluation cd of VEE from the Agilent Website!  🙂

No....Just giving VEE a try! 😄

I can't leave LV so easily....I am so addicted to it.....and so am I addicted to these forums!! 🙂

What ever you do to enhance your career success for the long run, stay away from MS proprietaries like C#, VB, etc.... , instead stick to traditional stuffs like C/C++.    Did you know if you don't like looking at wires, you can always opt for a version of CLV, that's doing the same thing as wire but you do with text base in C language?  If you purchase the developer suite, they all come with wire based LV, CLV, and even classes for Visual Studio where you can do even more than what CLV has to offer.
