We can help remotely or on-site with almost all LabVIEW-related tasks. We’ll work with your team of engineers to get things done smoothly and efficiently. This kind of work will usually be at our hourly rate, but if the work can be fully defined, then a fixed price might be possible. We also offer tailored LabVIEW training.

Helping with a project remotely

General LabVIEW Assistance from our LabVIEW Expert

Our LabVIEW consultant, Tim Fellows, is happy to give online assistance using TeamViewer. TeamViewer, which will cost you nothing, allows Tim to see your screen, show you how to do things in LabVIEW and even work on your PC. To aide communication, TeamViewer has real time chat. video and audio features. (The video uses your webcam, and the audio requires microphone and speakers.) It will be almost like having Tim right next to you.

TeamViewer has proved highly popular with our customers because it enables us to respond to their needs very quickly. In this way, we regularly connect to systems around the world. Note that firewalls are invariably not an issue with TeamViewer, which uses port 80 on the remote PC. Almost any PC that can connect to the Internet can connect with TeamViewer.

See also our page on LabVIEW contracting. And for information on how we often connect PCs to external hardware, see Connecting to Devices and Sensors – Systems Integration.

Instructions for Our Live Service:

Email Tim at with brief details of what you are doing and suggesting a time for the online assistance. Tim will reply confirming the time or suggesting another time. (If Tim does not feel he can help, he will say so at this stage!)
Download and install TeamViewer. Since you will be using the server side of TeamViewer, you can install the non-commercial free version. (We have paid for our copy.)
Let us know your TeamViewer ID and password (found on TeamViewer’s main screen).
Ideally, we need an audio connection – either via phone or with TeamViewer’s VOIP facility. If we use the latter, you will need to set up a microphone and a webcam if you want to use one. If you prefer not to use audio communication, we can use TeamViewer’s text-based chat facility.
Before the online session, make a payment on PayPal for at least one hour of assistance. (This is our minimum charge.) The amount per hour is GB£105. Add VAT if you are in the UK. To make this payment to our account, you will only need the email address associated with the account, which is . If you prefer not to use PayPal, contact us for our bank details.
Call or email when you are ready for Tim to connect with TeamViewer.

Take the stress out of your project by calling our LabVIEW consultant – we all need a little help sometimes!

WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY?

Livewires came to do two days LabVIEW training for us including input on how to connect to our equipment. The PowerPoint material and presentations were very useful and relevant. Tim [LiveWires Director] is clearly a subject matter expert, and we were also super impressed with how quickly he worked through and refined the VNA working example in the last few hours of day 2. Overall, we enjoyed the course, and feel that we achieved what we set out to achieve.

Ally Gorman, Qualification & Test Lab Manager, Smiths Interconnect Two Days LabVIEW training

Having used Tim's [LiveWires Director] services before for another large customer facing software project, it made sense to use his services again for a brand new Labview project which would result in a customer facing software. Tim worked with us closely throughout the project and through regular calls and emails, we maintained great working relationship throughout, ensuring that features were implemented with Aber's vision in mind.

Lindsey Male, Aber Instruments LiveWires have an extensive knowledge on Labview and provided us with working solutions for complex features.

Having made the decision to use LabVIEW, Automation Interfaces [LiveWires] was recommended to us as a possible programming source. Our requirements were for a visually pleasing, user-friendly and compact system for control and data logging of our equipment. Automation Interfaces [LiveWires] successfully achieved this for us demonstrating good understanding and obvious competence.

Jim Milne, Managing Director, Electrolab Ltd Successful and Obvious Competence

Rapid visualisation of strip profile in this way has already proved to be a key tool used by our engineers and operations experts to assist in the continuous improvement of the rolling process.

I hired LiveWires' services to convert a LabView application that I had written into a web application for the University of Liverpool’s Physics Department. Tim [LiveWires Director] understood very quickly our requirements and even proposed some improvements. LiveWires not only have a deep knowledge of the LabView software, but also of the physics behind the project. It was a real pleasure to work with them and I was very pleased with the results.

Ricardo Torres Project Manager, University of Liverpool Pleasure to work with, and very pleased with the results.

We have called upon LiveWires' LabVIEW expertise on a number of occasions and truly hope we can continue in doing so. Tim [LiveWires Director] is a true master in analyzing the software challenges we are facing, even with little information. He will constantly make suggestions on how to tackle the issues and improve the software architecture. The result of LiveWires' programming efforts are subroutines which are extremely user friendly and which integrate smoothly in our software...

Bart De Wachter, IMEC Bottom line: We couldn’t be happier!

LiveWires have worked on a number of projects for the University of Waikato (NZ) since 2010. These projects have ranged from re-writing the code for existing scientific equipment to writing code from scratch to control a new piece of equipment. Tim [LiveWires Director] has made these jobs easier for us because he has been able to gauge the requirements of the projects from talking to our scientists and with minimal drawings has been able to estimate programming costs. This has allowed us to...

Peter Jarman, Technical Officer, University of Waikato Looking forward to the next time we work together

This project might never have gotten off the ground without Livewires Automation’s help. This is the kind of help you want and hard to find in this day and age. They figured out a great software package for me and were willing to help at odd times and on weekends. I am really pleased with the results, I don’t have to worry about anyone questioning my testing or doing it better.

We have been very pleased with the quality of the work undertaken by LiveWires We have found them to be both competent and easy to work with.

Michael Callaghan, Lecturer, School of Computing and Intelligent Systems, University of Ulster Excellent Work, Fantastic Communication

Automation Interfaces [LiveWires] has greatly reduced the complexity of our functional test programs, reducing product development time from a few weeks to a few hours !! They have totally managed the project, working with our engineering staff to ensure a seamless integration of our traditional test methodology with their software. There has been no compromise to productivity or quality of testing during the development of the project.

Mike Jones, Production Manager, Sanken Power Systems LiveWires reduced our product development time from weeks to a few hours!

As well as producing high quality LabVIEW programming in a short period of time, Automation Interfaces [LiveWires] provided considerable technical input to the software specification.

Peter Davis, Cryogenics Engineer, Oxford Magnet Technology Ltd

The automation of our Goniophotometer has infinitely reduced the amount of time we spend collecting data and has provided us with a reliable and versatile apparatus to perform a variety of optical measurements.

The user interface, designed by co-operation between Automation Interfaces [LiveWires] and Microsharp, is very easy to use. Complex data is presented visually such that it is instantly understood, plus, data can be stored and easily retrieved for comparison with other data.

David Tinson, Project Leader, Microsharp Corporation

The adoption of a LabVIEW based ATE has significantly reduced turn-around-time and manpower overhead.Without the assistance and guidance from Automation Interfaces [LiveWires], we would not have been able to create a working system in the timescales necessary to meet the demands of the Airworthiness Authorities.

Trevor Parkinson, Manager, Anti-Skid, Aircraft Braking Systems Europe Ltd [Now Meggitt] Without LiveWires, we would not have been able to create a working system in time.
