OpenG Builder 2.0 released with support for LabVIEW 8.x

[Jim_Kring]

I'm happy to announce that version 2.0 of OpenG Builder (ogrsc_builder package) has been released, which adds support for LabVIEW 8.x and it's new data types (although support for lvclass, xnode, xcontrol, lvlib, is not at 100%).



You can find details, including change log and release notes, on the wiki, here:

• http://wiki.openg.org/Ogrsc_builder-2.0.0.399

Thanks to Kostya Shifershteyn and Ton Plomp for thier hard work and contributions to this release.

You can download and install this library (as well as all the OpenG libraries) using VI Package Manager.

OK,  but what is it and why should I use it?  What need does it fulfill?  I have been unable to find much documentation for this at the wiki page and maybe a couple of paragraphs here would help.

Thanks,
Bob Young

Hi Bob,

Yes, this info got burried.  Basically, it's a tool for building LabVIEW-based software products.  It is highly flexible/extensible and tries to fill the holes left by LabVIEW's built-in Application Builder.  Here are some good links to more info:

• OpenG Builder Homepage
  
• OpenG Builder 1.0 Documentation

Thanks,
