Vincent Carpentier and Cyril Gambini from Neosoft Technologies from Quebec are our guests on this episode.  Neosoft Technologies are the newest DQMH Trusted Advisor, and have been using DQMH in their varied solutions, from pure LabVIEW, to TestStand and VeriStand, and also Flexlogger plug-ins. Neosoft are pushing the boundaries of how one might use DQMH, including building their own VI scripting over the top of DQMH to further automate the development of their applications, and using Antidoc as a tool to help prepare initial design documentation for their internal engineers and customers.  This episode is definitely worth a listen!
