Open Source LabVIEW Functions and Controls

I've started putting up some basic VIs for LabVIEW into the open source domain. Currently there are some functions for multi-needle guages (based off an array) as well as a function for quadrature decoding. The quadrature decoder can be used to decode a quadrature signal from an analog measurement by first converting it into a digital waveform. If you have any further questions, need help, or wish to further develop these VIs, please email me.

Here's the controls repository

Building lxml on OS X

These instructions will get you up and running on either the system python, macpython (i'm fairly sure) or the macports python.

Install libxml2 and libxlst through MacPorts

In bash:
export CFLAGS=-flat_namespace
python setup.py bdist_egg --with-xslt-config=/opt/local/bin/xslt-config
easy_install theegg.egg
