Malleable VIs (VIMs) are a feature in LabVIEW 2017+ that allow more dynamic compile-time type propagation. When building reference libraries this behavior can be used to reduce the number of VIs you have to create and make the interface more powerful. This presentation looks at how Craig utilized VIMs to solve pin-abstraction programming challenges in NI Semiconductor Test Systems (STS), and all the different considerations that came into play. Details include making the proper decisions about reentrancy settings within the reference library to reduce compiled code complexity (don’t inline everything!) to balance edit-time performance with runtime performance.

You have a customer requesting a solution, where do you start? How do you plan an architecture? Take a walk through the customer request, follow-up investigation and architecture design for a quick turn project (customer asked me to drop what I was already doing and give a proposal in 5 minutes and a finished project in no more than two weeks).
