INDUSTRIAL SOFTWARE MODERNIZATION

LabVIEW to C# Migration for Test & Measurement Systems

Modernize established LabVIEW applications with C#/.NET while preserving proven architecture and engineering knowledge.

1

Is your LabVIEW application becoming difficult to maintain?

  • The application still works, but adjusting and extending it is becoming increasingly difficult.
  • Runtime, driver and toolkit dependencies make deployment and adapting to environment changes cumbersome.
  • New technologies — web, network, drivers — are a challenge in LabVIEW.
  • Integrating the application into modern version control and release pipeline practices is difficult.
2

Does LabVIEW development capacity limit what you can do?

  • Work on the application queues up behind a shrinking number of people.
  • Additional LabVIEW developers are hard to find.
  • Your other software developers cannot contribute to it.
  • Adding developer seats is expensive compared to modern alternatives.
3

Is the user interface holding your product back?

  • Your user interface cannot compete with the software your users see every day.
  • As data and workflows grow more complex, the UI elements you need — data grids and modern layout controls — are missing.
  • Localization of the user interface is painful.
  • Adapting your user interface to different resolutions or platforms is a significant development effort.

We migrate architectures, not VIs.

The core insight

A proven application does not need to be reinvented

Professional LabVIEW applications are often already organized around queued messages, actors, state machines, modules and hardware abstraction. Those architectural ideas can be translated into modern C# components rather than discarded in a risky ground-up rewrite.

The migration goal is not line-by-line conversion. It is preservation of engineering knowledge while improving maintainability, deployment options, UI technology and long-term access to developers.

Developer view

Preserve what already works

Queued message handlers → message handler classes and asynchronous services

Actor-style modules → active node framework

Device drivers → testable hardware abstraction layers

State machines → explicit state machine classes, unit-testable

Engineering UI → Avalonia controls, plots and operator views

A phased migration without a big-bang rewrite

Migrate representative workflows first, validate behaviour early and move functionality in controlled increments.

01. Assessment

Map modules, message flows, dependencies, hardware interfaces, deployment and validation constraints.

Machine Control

02. Architecture mapping

Define how QMH, Actor Framework, state machines and drivers translate to the C# framework.

Data Collection

03. Prototype

Prove the architecture with one representative workflow, device and Avalonia UI slice.

04. Module migration

Move functionality in controlled increments while keeping testable boundaries.

Machine Control

05. Behaviour validation

Compare calculations, timing, device interactions, sequences and operator outcomes.

Data Collection

06. Deployment

Package, document and introduce the modern application with a practical transition plan.
