Patent number: 8479109Abstract: A system and method for programmatically generating a graphical program or a portion of a graphical program in response to receiving user input. The user input may specify functionality of the graphical program or graphical program portion to be generated. In response to the user input, a graphical program (or graphical program portion) that implements the specified functionality may be programmatically generated. Thus, different graphical programs may be generated, depending on the user input received.Type: GrantFiled: July 28, 2006Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Jeffrey D.

Patent number: 8205188Abstract: System and method for programmatically generating a second graphical program associated with a second programming development environment based on a first graphical program associated with a first programming development environment. The second graphical program may be generated programmatically, without relying on user input, or may prompt for user input to determine various options to use in generating the second graphical program. The second graphical program may implement the functionality of, or a portion of the functionality of, the first graphical program. The method preferably generates the second graphical program such that the second programming development environment is operable to treat the second graphical program identically to a graphical program interactively developed by a user using the second programming development environment.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Subramanian Ramamoorthy, Lothar Wenzel, Gregory O.

Patent number: 7937665Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating a graphical program from a prototyping environment application. By utilizing an application specialized for developing solutions to problems in a particular domain, i.e., a prototyping environment, a user may develop a solution to a problem, i.e., a prototype. The prototype may comprise a series of functions that form an algorithm or process. Once the user has developed the desired prototype, the user may request the prototyping environment to automatically, i.e., programmatically, generate a graphical program implementing the prototype, e.g., in order to run the program independently of the prototyping environment. In various embodiments, the prototyping environment may be operable to generate any of various types of graphical programs. Once the graphical program has been generated, the program may be modified as desired, e.g., in order to include features not available from the prototyping environment that generated the program.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2000Date of Patent: May 3, 2011Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Nicolas Vazquez, Jeffrey L. Kodosky, Ram Kudukoli, Kevin L. Schultz, Dinesh Nair, Christophe Caltagirone

Publication number: 20080066053Abstract: A system and method for automatically generating a second graphical program based on a first graphical program. The first graphical program may be associated with a first programming development environment. For example, a user may have interactively created the first graphical program from within the first programming development environment, e.g., by using an editor to place various nodes on a block diagram, such that the nodes visually indicate functionality of the first graphical program.

Patent number: 6976222Abstract: A system and method for creating a graphical program, wherein the graphical program is operable to access capabilities of an object. During creation of the graphical program, the user operates to place an object node in the graphical program, wherein the object node is operable to access capabilities of the object. This preferably includes the user arranging on the screen the graphical program, including the object node and various other nodes, and connecting the various nodes to create the graphical program. The user then configures the object node to receive information on the object, preferably by the user configuring the object node with a reference to the object, e.g., a pointer, address, or other information which specifies the identity and/or location of the object. The user also selects one or more methods to be invoked on the object and/or one or more properties to get/set on the object.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2002Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Omid Sojoodi, Robert Dye, Murali Parthasarathy, Ram Kudukoli

Patent number: 6763515Abstract: System and method for automatically generating a graphical program to perform an image processing algorithm. A user may develop an image processing algorithm in an image prototyping environment. The image prototyping environment enables the user to easily apply various image processing functions to an image and immediately see the results, in order to develop the desired algorithm. As the user applies each image processing function to an image, the function may be recorded as a step in a script. Once the user has developed an algorithm, the user may request the image prototyping environment to automatically generate a program implementing the image processing algorithm. In various embodiments, the prototyping environment may be operable to generate different types of programs, including text-based and graphical programs.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2000Date of Patent: July 13, 2004Assignee: National Instruments CorporationInventors: Nicolas Vazquez, Jeffrey L.
