VIPM 2.0 - Build your own VI Packages Options

[JKI Software]

For a long while now, VI Package Manager users have been asking how they can use VIPM to more effectively manage their LabVIEW reuse libraries. We were certainly listening and are happy to announce that the next version of VIPM, due out later this year, will make reusing LabVIEW VIs easier than ever before.

Here are just some of the exciting new features designed to help you create your own packages of reusable VIs:

• one-step package building
• easily share your reusable VIs with others
• what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) palette editor
• simplified dependency management
• much more...

VI Packages enable modular software reuse and help you avoid the pain caused by a monolithic reuse library. Read Jim Kring's recent Thinking in G blog entries on this topic:
