JKI is very excited to announce the availability of VI Package Manager (VIPM) Professional Edition 2.0 Beta for public testing and feedback. This release follows a long period of extensive planning and development and results in, what we hope to be, a significant improvement to one of the best LabVIEW software applications that the world has ever seen.
