For our team, one of the problems have been going through the setup process a little bit each day. We meet one hour a day and during that one hour, YOU DONT FINISH, so the next day you have to pick up where you left off and if the student who was working on step 6 isn't here the next day then we don't touch it until they return. We are paranoid about following the configuration steps. Anyhow, I kinda wish we would have just set a aside a 6 hour day to do the entire configuration and updates all at once. Instead it took two weeks. Other than that, just follow the directions and you'll be fine. Oh here's another weird quark.. 10.7.1.02 is not the same as 10.7.1.2 This maybe specific to our laptop but it took a while for us to figure out why labview wouldn't download code.

Programming in LabView is another story. Our C programmmers hate it, but I'm encouraging them to stick with it - It is important that they learn something new, it will serve them well in the end. Have the programmers watch the LVMastery videos (posted here on CD) and the videos at labviewzone.blip.tv those are really nice.
