JKI is pleased to announce the release of the new Magic Delay Fairy Tool for LabVIEW, a revolutionary new tool for LabVIEW developers working to solve some of the toughest system timing and synchronization challenges.
Here's how this tool can help...
Some Bugs Need Fairy Power
Let's say you have a bug in your code shows up as an intermittent problem. Often times, adding a perfectly timed delay into your code can cause the problem to go away... almost like magic.
. 
For example, say you're configuring an instrument's voltage range (sending the "CONF:VOLT:RANG 0,10" command) and then querying a measurement (sending "MEAS:VOLT?"). Sometimes the voltage is out of range and sometimes it's not -- the instrument gives you a beep, letting you know it's not happy. In this situation, inserting a "magic" delay between your configuration and measurement steps might help.
Here's a video that shows what we mean...

Before Magic Delay: Code is not working! :(
After Magic Delays: Code is "working"! :)
How does this tool work?
The Magic Delay Fairy fixes race conditions in your code by inserting magical delays into your code that are specifically tuned using advanced magical algorithms to fix your race conditions. Don't ask how it works, because it's magic.
Warning! You may be so excited by this great tool, you may want to prance and frolic.
