‍I found a really cool tool for LabVIEW authored by Darren Nattinger Chief Technical Support Engineer at NI.

This tool allows you to copy data from an array to the clipboard in a tab-delimited format.

‍NI News

‍I found a great article by Test and Measurement tips that interviewed the new President of Emerson's Test and Measurement Business Group. Here is the introduction to that article

"Over the past several years, some of NI’s users told me that, in their opinion, the company had drifted away from its product-based business, instead moving to a business-unit focus. That is, moving more into the systems business and away from its core software and hardware products such as LabVIEW and PXI, respectively. Since the acquisition by Emerson in 2023, NI appears to be pivoting back to supporting its core products, so said Ritu Favre, President of Emerson’s Test and Measurement Business Group. I spoke with Favre on May 23, 2024, during NI Connect, the company’s annual conference in Austin, Texas."

‍Guy Bluford: First African American in Space

‍In late August 1983, a soft-spoken Philadelphia-born African American man flew into history. Despite launch delays totaling six weeks, the spectacular first night launch (and later first night landing) of a Space Shuttle brought full circle NASA’s promise of a more inclusive astronaut corps. Following Sally Ride (America’s first female astronaut) by just two months, the STS-8 mission provided another visible moment when more young people could see and be inspired by people like themselves flying into space.
