Welcome to VI Shots. The VI stands for virtual instrumentation. No, it has nothing to do with musical instruments. You can use graphical programming software like LabVIEW to create user-defined solutions (measurement instruments) that meet your specific needs - very different from the proprietary, fixed functionality of traditional instruments. For example, if you don’t have an oscilloscope handy, just insert a USB DAQ card into your laptop and write an oscilloscope software application. You now have a virtual oscilloscope instrument.

Michael has been working in the test and measurement industry since 1993. He started his career as a test engineer and quickly fell in love with the graphical programming paradigm that LabVIEW provided. Since then, he’s worked on dozens of complex test systems in electronics, semiconductor, automotive, telecom, biomedical and other industries. At around the end of 2002, Michael started experimenting with web technologies and was the first to create a LabVIEW Blog. Around the same time, the LAVA Forums were born and a lot of effort was put into developing a solid foundation. Now, the LAVA Forums has become the largest independent online LabVIEW community. Michael’s latest passion is Video Blogging. VI Shots was born out of a video blogging experiment at NIWeek 2007.
