Dear Workers for LabVIEW Community
I´m Helmut and I had this week the possibility to join the inspiring presentation "Introduction to Workers 5.0" from Peter.
LabVIEW I´m using since Version 7 as a test engineer to develop software for different types test benches for production and R&D.
In the past I´ve started with custom frameworks then switched to NI Actor Framework and DQHM.
Now I´ve decided to start the journey with Workers for LabVIEW.
Hi Helmut,
Welcome to the community, and thanks for the kind words!
Great to hear about your extensive background, especially your experience with custom frameworks, Actor Framework and DQMH. That’s a very solid foundation to start exploring Workers from.
There’s no single “right way” of doing things, but there are definitely patterns that are easier to use and scale better as systems grow. Hopefully Workers will give you a few useful tools and ideas in that direction.
Looking forward to seeing what you build with the framework, and if you have any questions, please direct them to our Ask & Discuss forum.
Best,
Peter

Just started ...
Dear Workers Community,
I am Stefan and I have just recentley recognized Workers. I am curious on how It can help simplify debugging and code maintenance. I have had received a formal LabVIEW training to level CLD.
Looking forward to exercise and learn about Workers together!
Hi Stefan,
Welcome to the Workers Community! 🥳
Great to have you here, and you are at a great level already (CLD) to start your Workers journey. You'll be able to apply what you already know as a CLD with our easy-to-use, scalable and modular framework.
The Workers training course is the best place to start. You can guide yourself through all the material at your own pace. Here is a link to the free downloadable course 👇.
And if you have any questions, feel free to post them in the Ask and Discuss forum.
We are here to support you!
Happy programming!
Peter

Grateful for Workers for LabVIEW
Hello All, I am happy to have found Workers for LabVIEW. I first looked into Workers briefly several months ago and set it aside as I was content with DQMH. I just could not escape though how professional are the articles posted by Peter Scarfe. So I returned to have a second look at Workers. I did a deep dive on all of the materials including the training course. Everything is done with professionalism and passion.
Among other things, I like how the framework encourages organizing Workers into a tree structure and how Peter encourages good architecture through his articles and forum posts.
The scripting tools are wonderful and there's potential for them to get even better.
Grateful to be here and looking forward to using Workers on my next project!

Hi Chris,
Thanks for taking the time to write this. It’s especially nice to hear from someone with your level of LabVIEW experience and to have you as part of the Workers community.
Encouraging good architecture (without forcing it) and making large applications pleasant to work with is one of the core goals of the framework. So I’m happy to hear that came through in the articles, tools, and training material.
Yes, the current suite of scripting tools has a lot of room for growth... and Workers 6.0 (currently under development) is very much about expanding their potential even further.
I hope Workers satisfies the demands of your next project, and that you’re able to deliver it in record time, while still maintaining easy-to-read code with a clear and solid architecture.
Welcome to the community, and please feel free to share with the community what you build with the framework!
Best,
Peter

Welcome to the Workers for LabVIEW Community
Hello Everyone! My name is Peter Scarfe and I am the creator of Workers for LabVIEW, a framework for LabVIEW designed to help you create modular, scalable and extensible asynchronous LabVIEW applications in a simple and intuitive way.
I myself have been developing with LabVIEW for the past 15 years now, using LabVIEW to both architect and develop data acquisition and control system projects in both the academic and industrial sectors.
During the first 8 years of my LabVIEW career, I was using the LabVIEW QMH template to create my own multi-process (asynchronous) applications. This approach however lacked scalability, modularity and extensibility, and after many years of literally creating many of my own frameworks that were derived from this template, I decided to take what I had learnt and as a side project, create a new framework that could be used by the LabVIEW community to solve many of these problems... and Workers for LabVIEW was born!
The first version of Workers for LabVIEW was released back in 2018... and since then, slowly but gradually, the project has improved and grown over time into what it is today, an SDK (software development kit) that provides you with a software framework, standardized APIs, development tools and a dedicated debugger to help make creating applications with the framework as simple as possible.
The main goal for this community is to provide a place where everyone can learn, share new ideas, improve the ongoing development of the framework, and to also promote the use of LabVIEW, a language which I enjoy using very much! :-)
I'm delighted to welcome you here. Please look around and I hope you find the resources that have been posted thus far useful. I look forward to engaging with you and answering any questions you have about the framework.
Happy Programming!
Peter
