Reduce your LabVIEW development time from months to days
But you have questions.
On top of that, your block diagram is growing larger by the day. It's unorganized, hard to maintain, and starting to get weird looks from your colleagues.
Time is of the essence because you have a LabVIEW system you need to build now.
If you start experiencing bugs in your code, you risk damaging hardware (not to mention your reputation), producing bad data, and ruining experiments.
That would set your project back by months. You don't have months.
You could attend a week-long in-person training to learn how to code "the right way." (But that means working nights and weekends to catch up.)
You could spend hours poking around for answers or try to get a colleague to teach you. (Neither of those sound promising.)
You can gamble your code and credibility on free tutorials... Or hope that colleagues are teaching you the best practices...
Or you can take the smarter approach to writing high-quality code using the JKI State Machine...
Learn from the experts who created it.
The JKI State Machine Course is a self-paced online course that teaches you the structured practices necessary to create high-quality LabVIEW applications, quickly.
The processes and techniques covered in this course will help you:
Use state machines to create useful real-world applications
Build a measurement signal plotter to chart DAQ I/O
Add new features to your applications
Build a sequencer that sets DAQ I/O values
Discover JKI State Machine best practices to avoid common pitfalls of application development

This course gave me proper coding practices that are a huge help to my work.
"Before taking this course, I had a reasonable understanding of LabVIEW, but I had some holes in my understanding of how to put together real-world applications. This course gave me practical examples and proper coding practices that, along with the JKI State Machine, are a a huge help to my work and a great addition to my toolbox for LabVIEW programming."

The JKI SM reduced my development time from 1 month to 1 day!
"The JKI State Machine is incredible! I am a beginner-to-mid-level LabVIEW user, and I had wanted to implement state machines for a long time, but had no idea how to go about it without using C. I found the JKI SM last week, and using it reduced the development time of an automated test rig from about a month down to one day! Keep up the good work."
Stefan Kaban
JKI State Machine User
I used the JKI SM to provide a solution very quickly and the code was simple & straightforward!
“As a seasoned programmer, I am always looking for better ways to solve problems and achieve my goals. So, I was interested in learning how the JKI State Machine could help me. This course flowed in a very natural way that made the material easy to absorb. After taking the course I used the JKI SM on a real project that needed to be done very quickly. The results were great! I was able to provide a solution very quickly using the JKI SM, and the code was simple and straightforward.”

Over 15 years ago, we set out to build a LabVIEW software design and development consulting firm focused on helping our clients get their innovative technology to market with speed and impact. Early on, we recognized the transformative power of LabVIEW and how it could allow our clients to accelerate the productivity and efficiency of their projects. At JKI, our team has literally built hundreds (if not thousands) of systems using these very same tools and techniques, which we’ve refined along the way. We have combined those hundreds of engineer-years of experience and distilled it into this course. Initially, this course was developed and taught exclusively on-site for our consulting project customers. Because they found it so valuable, we decided to share it with the rest of the world and are making it available to you as an online course. |
How long will I have access to the course?
Depending on the package you purchase, you’ll get access for 6 months or 1 year. Your access includes all course lessons, templates, and resources, as well as access to the private community.
I've been using JKI State Machine for a while. Will this course be too basic for me?
No, this course will not be too basic. Many students, who are seasoned LabVIEW developers, told us they were surprised by how much they learned in the course, and how helpful the course was, even though they had been using the JKI State Machine (or creating their own state machines) for quite some time.
The first few lessons are a very helpful review the fundamentals of state machines, and then you will quickly dive into learning JKI’s structured, workflow-driven approach to developing real applications using the JKI State Machine. You’ll learn many best practices that are not available anywhere else. Finally, you'll learn advanced topics like Dynamic User Event handling that will allow you to communicate between parallel loops. You'll even learn lots of great LabVIEW tips that will be extremely helpful to your development.
How is this course different from the training I can get through NI?
Unlike NI’s LabVIEW training that is designed to teach you all the features of LabVIEW, itself, this course is designed to teach you how to quickly create a working test and measurement application from a set of feature requirements. And, the applications you learn to create in this course will be highly maintainable, since they are built upon a well-designed application architecture: the JKI State Machine.
I have a limited amount of training hours, why should I take this course?
The skills you learn in the course and the tools you’re given will quickly save you an incredible amount of time. Many students say that after this 12 hour online course, they are able to complete their LabVIEW projects in days, instead of weeks. And, the quality of code they produce saves them lots of time in the future, because they have fewer bugs; and the code is easier to maintain, because it’s easier to read, understand, and add new features to the code.
How long will it take to recover the cost of the course?
You will likely recover the cost of the course in just a week or two, as you complete your next LabVIEW project. Many students say, after taking the course, they are able to complete their first project in a matter of days, instead of weeks. Let’s look at the return on investment (ROI) of one common scenario.
- Take your typical three-week LabVIEW project.
- Assume your engineering hourly cost rate is 100 $USD/hr (you can scale that up or down, based on your engineering experience level and geographic location).
- It takes you approximately 12 hours to complete the online course, which is a time investment of roughly 1200 $USD (it’s the “opportunity cost” of time you could be spending on something else).
- The course fees were 600 $USD.
- This brings the total cost of taking course to 1800 $USD (includes both the opportunity cost and the course fees).
- Now, assume you save one week of development time (like most students). That’s 4000 $USD of savings on your first project (40 hours * 100 $USD/hour).
- That comes out to over 200% return on investment (ROI), on the first three-week project alone!
222% = 4000 $USD savings / (600 $USD course fee + 1200 $USD training time investment)
At JKI, we understand you need working code in order to generate business value, before you can actually recover the cost of tools and training. That’s why we’ve designed this course to give you working software templates and a solid platform for building your application, right out of the box.
