At GPower, we are not just one or two, but nothing less than three LabVIEW Champions! An appointment that emphasizes our LabVIEW skills to a great extent. In short, LabVIEW is a visual programming language from NI which is especially used for test, measurement, and control. We would like to congratulate Jesper Kjær Sørensen, who, among other things, want to create a LabVIEW network in Denmark. A network where you can learn from each other across companies and universities.
What Is a LabVIEW Champion?
As a LabVIEW Champion, you have been recognized by NI for application development, technical depth and breadth, and leadership and contributions to the LabVIEW community. In addition to being credible technology experts from around the world who inspire others to learn and grow with LabVIEW through active technical community participation and face-to-face interactions, LabVIEW Champions are also characterized by being positive contributors and part of the success of LabVIEW.
The Only Danish Consultancy with LabVIEW Champions
In addition to being the only LabVIEW Champion consultancy team in Denmark, GPower is also the highest certified LabVIEW and TestStand team. An average that supports the fact that we can solve the most demanding and complicated software challenges within test, measurement, and control.
“When I started at GPower back in 2017, my ambition was to become one of the best LabVIEW developers. There is still a long way to go, but I am enormously proud to be included in the LabVIEW Champions network. In addition to being a super cool network, it also provides the opportunity to engage in in-depth discussions across continents and cultures.
I look forward to helping shape the future of LabVIEW. There are some exciting initiatives from NI and the various LabVIEW communities, which include, among other things, expanding the teaching opportunities, promoting collaboration on open-source tools, and much more. This supports my work in the non-profit organization GCentral, where I am part of the board of Directors as well as GCentral’s Idea Exchange.
Soon, my goal is to create a LabVIEW network in Denmark with the aim of learning from each other across companies and universities. So, please let me know if you’re up for joining” – Jesper Kjær Sørensen.
Based on our IO-Link Toolkit for LabVIEW and TestStand, we are now part of the IO-Link.com Community. The goal of the community is to develop IO-Link as a technology among others. Learn more about IO-Link, see members, and download our free toolkit right here!
What is IO-Link?
IO-Link is the first standardized IO technology worldwide (IEC 61131-9) for the communication with sensors and actuators. The powerful point-to-point communication is based on the long established 3-wire sensor and actuator connection without additional requirements regarding the cable material. So, IO-Link is no fieldbus but the further development of the existing, tried-and-tested connection technology for sensors and actuators.
As example, the system architecture could look as follows which is based on LabVIEW and TestStand:

GPower IO-Link
Even though IO-Link has been around for more than a decade there has been no easy way to connect the devices with the NI tool chain. This is why the GPower IO-Link is revolutionary. By installing just one toolkit you gain access to data from more than 30.000 devices right in your LabVIEW code. Moreover, we have taken our own medicine and utilized our IO-Link LabVIEW Toolkit to build a set of IO-Link step types for TestStand.
So, are you a LabVIEW or TestStand developer, you should really try GPower IO-Link! A universal driver for more than 30,000 IO-Link devices! For the first time, it’s plug ‘n’ play to access encoders, digital and analog IO, laser rangers, light towers, button presses and much more just by loading their IODD file in LabVIEW or TestStand.
Do you want to be trained by Denmark's leading LabVIEW and TestStand experts? We have just released new course dates for our Basic courses! We start with LabVIEW Basic on May 8-9 followed by TestStand Basic on May 10-11, 2023. See and register for our courses here!

Statements from Our Customers
”LabVIEW Basic was well planned and competently executed. Jens Christian Andersen has enormous knowledge and is a skilled communicator. Topics, assignments, and the order were well chosen. Since it's a two-day beginner's course, the amount of content you get through is of course limited, but if you have to maintain existing code, I feel that I've got the right foundation based on this course.”
”LabVIEW Basic fully met my expectations and was beneficial. The course was well organized, well executed, and logically structured. In short, a course that can be recommended"
”In addition to the fact that the course clearly met my expectations, Jens Christian is also good at conveying his knowledge. The course has provided a solid base of knowledge that I can build on myself - and which makes it more realistic to get started.”
”My approach to the course was that I should most likely not expect to learn anything new, but rather refresh my basic LabVIEW skills. Having said that, I got a lot more out of it than I expected, so all in all a really good course!”
”Although I have previously worked with LabVIEW, LabVIEW Basic was really good. It has provided a good insight into the basic structure and how I review existing LabVIEW projects, especially for missing documentation! After the course, I will definitely find it easier to read other people's code. I'm looking forward to the next course!"
