This blog is about National Instrument products and Test Engineering in general from a Test Engineers perspective. Tuesday, September 23, 2008. It's a great book! There were several points that seemed counter intuitive about teams until you realize that Pink Floyd produced many great albums (for the young people, an album is a vinyl disc that music was recorded on and played on a record player.with a needle) including The Dark side of the Moon, one of the best selling albums of all time. Third point, Cre...

This blog is about National Instrument products and Test Engineering in general from a Test Engineers perspective. Sunday, January 31, 2010. FIRST Robotics - 3 weeks to go. Sorry I missed last week, I was OBRE (Overcome By Robotic Events). FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). The build should be in full swing! If the robot building team hasn't started implementing the design, you need to get to it. One other import fact, and I've said it before, save off your code!

This blog is about National Instrument products and Test Engineering in general from a Test Engineers perspective. Tuesday, November 25, 2008. Thankful for Family, NI, and Sarcasm. It's the season to be thankful. So in the spirit of the season I want to say what I'm thankful for. I'm also thankful to both of the Directors I work for, especially JT. They believe in me and know that I'll work hard to do a good job for both of them. I'm also thankful to the place I work. [insert almost any sarcastic com...

This blog is about National Instrument products and Test Engineering in general from a Test Engineers perspective. Monday, August 24, 2009. I just want to let everyone know my Mother passed away last week from Pancreatic Cancer at the age of 86. She will be missed. I'll continue my blog next week. Thursday, August 13, 2009. Teradyne has a software product called TestStudio. The product seemed very immature considering it's been around since at least 2001, possibly longer. During the training TestStud...

This blog is about National Instrument products and Test Engineering in general from a Test Engineers perspective. Monday, June 29, 2009. Comparing TestStudio and TestStand.Not! Comparing TestStand and TestStudio at this point is.impossible. At the momment, I'm still waiting on the official PO to go to Teradyne so that they will be so kind as to give us the software we're buying. We have sent them 10% of the PO for long lead items but that isn't enough insurance to actually get the software. Now to the m...

What was different where it needed to change? Then I needed to develop some CVI instrument wrappers. And BAM! The text based code just flowed from my finger tips. I plugged it into TestStand and BAM BAM! It worked.first try! And I wasn't even entirely sure how the RF Signal Generator worked. Compared to the struggle I had g...

This blog is about National Instrument products and Test Engineering in general from a Test Engineers perspective. Friday, January 15, 2010. FIRST Robotics - 5 Weeks to Software. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology). Design is in full swing! Before you modify the basic code, make a copy of whatever code is working. Always keep a backup of the latest, working software so that when something gets screwed up, which it always does when you're trying new things, you have code ...

This blog is about National Instrument products and Test Engineering in general from a Test Engineers perspective. Saturday, September 12, 2009. TestStudio vs. TestStand. I've been trying to learn about the Teradyne test sequencing product TestStudio. I wanted to compare it with NI's TestStand. I'm going to say now that there is no comparison, it's not ready. TestStudio locks up so often that it's hard to focus on anything except the problems. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). TestStudio vs. TestStand. This bl...

OK, Now that we know the Super Intelligent Shades of the Color Green are going to take over the world, lets get on with less important things. like testing. I believe there is always. Even people who say they have no process, have a process, it's just not as straight forward as most or even seems coherent. Saturday, August 23, 2008. There's a lot of talk about "Green...
