• As LabVIEW is updated each year ( LabVIEW 2013, 2014, 2015..), a LabVIEW home bundle edition might become worthless after the release of new LabVIEW home bundle edition version, as you can´t load projects from LabVIEW MakerHub, created with a newer LabvIEW home edition release .
• The LabVIEW home bundle edition is shipped with the LabVIEW Full Development System, which doesn´t include the “LabVIEW Application Builder” . Remember that the LabVIEW student editions of the past 15 years did never include the “LabVIEW Application Builder” .

• 2011-2015, “National Instruments Germany” offerted free paper-based CLAD tests at their events “Labview Anwendertag” and “Labview Day”. Since 2016, there are just online CLAD tests, so that “National Instruments Germany” must discontinue its free offer. There might be rebate offers for event particpants for the future.
• “To pass the CLAD exam, a score of 70% must be achieved”. That's hard, remember at college test you usually pass with 50%, while 70% is a real exception from my experience. Me as LabVIEW user on the level of an “advanced beginner” ( which I was not able to upgrade to a “professional user” due to missing work experience in LabVIEW-specific projects ), I participated in the free CLAD test 2011-2015 and got test results 50%, 65%, 55%, 35%, 52.50%, 50%, 65%, 52.50%.
• So be warned to spend money on that CLAD test if it isn`t free...
• The only advantage of online tests prior of paper tests might be that you can save the questions as “screenshots”...

Auflage sind alle Kapitel auf den neuesten Stand gebracht und an die aktuelle Programmversion 'LabVIEW 2014' angepasst, so Professor Georgi. Darüber hinaus sind zwei neue Themenbereiche zu 'XNodes' und 'Skripting' hinzugekommen. Mithilfe von „Skripting“ kann ein LabVIEW-Programm ein anderes schreiben. Außerdem liefert das Fachbuch Antworten auf Fragen wie „Wie programmiere ich professionell?“ und gibt Tipps, wie gutes Programmieren gelingen kann”.
