Internationally recognised LabVIEW training courses
10 October 2001
Analogue, Mixed Signal, LSI
National Instruments Southern Africa recently completed the second presentation of its certified LabVIEW training course. The course was held at the National Instruments Training Centre located at the Midrand office complex.
"This is truly an internationally-accepted training programme," says local manager Michael Hutton, "with the identical certified course being offered in over 50 countries around the world."
Dennis Naude, the local National Instruments Field Applications Engineer, facilitated the programme, which comprises a 3-day Basics course, with an additional 2-day Intermediate course. Naude has presented this material in the USA and this was the second such presentation in South Africa.
LabVIEW is a highly productive programming language used to create user-defined data acquisition and instrumentation systems. LabVIEW allows one to quickly create user interfaces that give interactive control of one's software system. To specify system functionality, block diagrams are simply assembled - a natural design notation for scientists and engineers. It has tight integration with measurement hardware that facilitates rapid development of data acquisition, analysis, and presentation solutions.
LabVIEW contains powerful built-in measurement analysis functions and a graphical compiler for optimum performance. It is available for Windows 2000/NT/Me/9x, MAC OS, Linux, Sun Solaris, and HP-UX, and comes in three different development system options.
National Instruments Southern Africa will be presenting another LabVIEW training course from 19 to 23 November 2001. To register for this course or for additional information about local certified LabVIEW courses or LabVIEW itself, contact the NI office, (011) 805 8197, [email protected]
