The Next LabVIEW User Group meeting will be held 9/9/25 at Kay's BBQ (1552 W King Street, Cocoa, Florida) on 9/9.
See https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/495133 for details and registration.
This is a free event for all User Group members. Hope to see you there!
Food will be provided. The event will be sponsored by TestForce and the IEEE Canaveral Section.
Our Speaker will be Brian Reiche and the topic will be RTI DDS Toolkit (Plug-in for LabVIEW).
Abstract
As nearly all modern test or control systems are distributed in some capacity, developers often face challenges with data communication and interoperability across programming languages and hardware platforms. Data Distribution Service (DDS) addresses these challenges with a powerful, data-centric publish-subscribe architecture and native support for real-time communication – regardless of language, operating system, or processor architecture. By abstracting the complexities of distributed communication, DDS lets you focus on your application’s functionality rather than its connectivity. And now, you can harness all these capabilities directly within LabVIEW. Whether you're working on automation, robotics, or test systems, this session will show you how to extend LabVIEW with DDS for robust communication and will conclude with a demo of LabVIEW, C++, and Python interoperating on different OSes and processor architectures.
