Antidoc

This new version brings you the latest part to fully automate your doc generation, the Antidoc CLI tool. With it, you will add the document generation as part of your CI/CD setup.

This version is also the opportunity to continue to improve Antidoc. Among the different modification we made, we want to point you the following:

• Extended character set is now supported with the last version of Asciidoc toolkit for LabVIEW
• Tool GUI displays a progress bar that gives you information on the task running during the document generation process
• There is an option to ask Antidoc to parse libraries contained in the project dependencies

Here it is! We are glad to announce the release of the first official version of Antidoc.

We are firmly convinced that Antidoc will help you get a valuable and up to date documentation for your LabVIEW project.

Even if we want this tool to be useful to most LabVIEW developers, this first version addresses, mainly DQMH(R) framework users. That said, what works for DQMH(R) will work in the future for other frameworks.

What will you get with Antidoc?

Beautiful DQMH(R) relationship modules graph

This graph shows the different DQMH modules used in your project and how they share data using Requests and Broadcasts.

We are happy to release the first public beta version of the tool.

Even if we know that many things are missing and bugs are obviously existing in this beta, we would like to let you know about the tool and the way it works.

Goal

Use LabVIEW content to generate valuable documentation that wil help maintain your projects and onboard new resources in the development team.

When we say “LabVIEW content” we not only speak about vi description, we also speak about how the different part of the code are linked together.

As a DQMH user, the tool has been primarily developed to get most information from this framework. We hope to support OPP and other frameworks in the future.

How to

You can generate the documentation of your LabVIEW project running the tool from Tools»Wovalab»AntiDoc»Generate Project Documentation… menu item.

After minimal configuration (1-Select the lvproj you want to document ; 2-Fill in document title, author name and e-mail address), you just have to hit the Generate documentation button (3).
