For the last several years, DMC\u2019s Test & Measurement Team<\/a> has put their artistic skills to the test to celebrate the holiday season with the LabVIEW Icon Editor. LabVIEW\u2019s Icon Editor<\/a> is typically used to document code, but we\u2019ve found that the 32×32-pixel icons make great ornaments for a tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity starts with development: using LabVIEW, MS Paint, and our own creativity, we all create ornament designs that inspire us for the year. We then print them, laminate them, and hole-punch just like any paper ornament before the best part: hanging them on the tree!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity is a team effort, as after several years of festive ornaments, we must be selective about what makes the tree each year. This year, themes like AI, LabVIEW package managers, and our ongoing NASA project<\/a> felt particularly topical to keep on the tree, as well as some classic LabVIEW icons and the Top Level at the top of the tree. If you want to check out some of the prior years’ events, you can find them here<\/a> and here<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of DMC\u2019s core values is Have Fun<\/a>, and we\u2019ve found that our ornament tradition helps us do just that. It\u2019s a great way to refresh your focus with some creativity and come together as a team to make something we can enjoy for the rest of the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating the Season as an NI Platinum Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our ornament tradition is also a reminder of how closely we work with NI technologies throughout the year. DMC is proud to be one of NI\u2019s highest-ranked partners worldwide and the exclusive Platinum-level partner in the Americas. Since 1997, our teams have partnered with NI to deliver complete instrumentation, measurement, and automated test solutions for clients across a wide range of industries.

The same LabVIEW tools that spark our creativity during the holidays are the foundation of the work we do every day. Our engineers bring deep knowledge of NI products to projects involving LabVIEW programming<\/a>, automated test equipment<\/a>, real-time and FPGA development<\/a>, and more. This expertise helps us design solutions that are consistent, scalable, and built for long-term success. Visit our NI partner page<\/a> to learn more about our expertise. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
