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.
