Why did we add LabVIEW applications to our ATLAS TPSs?

It is important to keep an open mind and be practical with testing software and hardware. Test Program Set (TPS) transportability is a primary consideration for long term customer support goals. Our ATLAS TPSs are robust and user friendly, however, LabVIEW offers several features and state-of-the-art routines and graphical representations that are valuable in many testing techniques or applications. Also, an interoperable open system software test package is an excellent approach to state-of-the-art technology. Vital testing techniques require expansive open systems.
