Implementation Guidance

This guide shows how to use Jake when implementing new functionality in LabVIEW. Follow these workflows to ensure your implementations are robust and maintainable.

Pattern Selection

When starting a new implementation, begin by identifying the appropriate design pattern:

$ @project What pattern would best suit these requirements?

Jake will analyze your needs and suggest appropriate patterns, explaining: - Pattern benefits - Implementation considerations - Potential challenges - Alternative approaches

Implementation Process

Follow this process for clean implementations:

  1. Get pattern guidance:

    $ @bd Show me how to implement this pattern
    

  2. Review initial implementation:

    ! @bd Review my pattern implementation
    

  3. Verify error handling:

    $ @bd Check error handling completeness
    

Common Implementation Tasks

State Machine Implementation

$ @bd Guide me through implementing a state machine for this workflow

Producer/Consumer Pattern

$ @bd Help me implement a producer/consumer architecture

Event Handling

$ @bd Show me how to implement event handling for these controls

Verification

Before completing implementation:

  1. Review code quality:

    ! @bd Verify implementation quality
    

  2. Check pattern adherence:

    $ @bd Verify pattern implementation correctness
    

  3. Document the implementation:

    + @bd Document this implementation
    

Remember to use Jake's pattern command ($) frequently during implementation to ensure you're following LabVIEW best practices.
