Welcome

Welcome to Workers, a development system that helps you create multi-process applications for LabVIEW in a simple, efficient and scalable way. The Workers SDK (software development kit) provides you with development tools, a LabVIEW API and a debugger, all designed to work together seamlessly.

Workers is based on the well known LabVIEW Queued Message Handler (QMH) template, and anyone with LabVIEW Core 3 / CLD level should feel comfortable developing with the framework.

However, Workers is also an Object Oriented (LVOOP) based framework, meaning that you can develop your applications using inheritance, reducing the amount of duplicated code required in each of your QMHs.

The help documentation you are reading here will guide you through the basic concepts of the framework so that you can start developing applications as soon as possible.

Firstly, let's discuss what a Worker is (click 'Next' below).

Good to know

You do not need LVOOP experience to start developing with Workers since the framework was designed with these developers in mind. So feel free to start your first project without any LVOOP experience, and in time as you learn LVOOP, you can start to unlock the more advanced features of the framework.
