LabVIEW and computer-based measurements workshop
18 May 2016
News
For those considering National Instruments data acquisition hardware for thei applications, the company is presenting workshops teaching how NI LabVIEW can be used to build powerful instrumentation and data acquisition systems. The hands-on workshops will take place at the Protea Hotel in Durbanvill, Cape Town on the 24th of May 2016, and The Innovation Hub in Lynwood, Pretoria on the 31st of May 2016.
Attendees will learn about the concept of graphical programming and view live demonstrations that will teach them how to:
• Create complete LabVIEW applications from scratch in minutes with interactive Express VIs and I/O assistants.
• Design user interfaces.
• Control analog input and drive digital I/O lines.
• Build a basic control application.
• Create virtual instruments for signal simulation.
• Utilise the LabVIEW Project for managing large applications and team development.
• Connect and measure real-world signals using RTDs, thermocouples, strain gauges and more.
• Add structures for decision making into applications.
Through a combination of presentation slides and instructor-led demos, attendees will leave the seminar with a confident understanding as to why the combination of NI LabVIEW system design software and NI DAQ hardware is one of the most productive, flexible approach to building accurate and reliable automated measurement solutions.
The target audience that will benefit most from these workshops includes engineers, scientists and technicians involved in test, measurement, or process monitoring and control for a wide range of applications including data logging, signal acquisition and generation, control and simulation, data management and acoustic/vibration.
