As of January 2018 VEE development has been officially discontinued, leaving VEE users with an uncertain future. Note that while VEE development is halted and support is only for Windows 7, that does not mean that VEE cannot be used for many years. It does mean though that as problems are found they will not be fixed, so existing working code is fine but new development will at some point become a problem.
UPDATE: August 2018 Keysight released VEE 9.33. No new features but support for Windows 10 is included. The basic situation is, however, unchanged in that no new development or further support is expected.
The purpose of this site is to discuss the various tools/environments that make sense as alternates for VEE users and to eventually provide resources for some of those future alternatives. As with the VEEOS extensions for VEE, AVEE extensions for other alternatives will be open source and (hopefully) integrated.
Readers are highly encouraged to add to this site. I'll act as editor and expand/modify the site as needed. More-or-less unlimited space is available, so examples, libraries, documentation and so on are welcome.
<recommendation>
As of spring 2020, my (Stan) personal recommendation for future work is Jupyter
and Python. While it is not graphical programming, Python is simple, robust,
easy to learn, and very well supported. Jupyter offers a very powerful graphical
environment that can incorporate a wide variety of programming languages. As
with VEE, the combination provides an approachable automation/engineering
environment for the non-programmer. Unlike VEE, Jupyter/Python are open source
so can be supported indefinitely.
