When Legacy Code Meets Extreme Conditions: A Texas A&M Success Story

hunter.smith@jki.net (Hunter Smith) — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 21:53:03 GMT

Every developer knows the pain of inheriting code that fights back. For Calvin Young, a Graduate Research Assistant at Texas A&M's Fluid Mixing in Extreme Conditions Laboratory (FMECL), that fight had been disrupting his detonation experiments for months. When he spotted the LabVIEW sign at JKI's booth during the AIAA SciTech 2024 technical conference, he saw an opportunity.

Getting the Most Out of VI Package Manager (VIPM)

tom.mcquillan@jki.net (Tom McQuillan) — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 21:52:53 GMT

Modern software engineering is built on the principle of code reuse. Rather than writing every function from scratch, successful developers leverage existing libraries, frameworks, and components to build robust applications efficiently. This approach reduces development time, minimises bugs through battle-tested code, and allows teams to focus on solving unique problems rather than reimplementing common solutions. In the LabVIEW environment, this principle is just as important, and this is where the VI Package Manager (VIPM) proves invaluable.
