National Instruments would like to invite all interested staff and students to attend a free training session presented by National Instruments on ‘Empowering Interdisciplinary Research using Virtual Instrumentation’ at UNSW. Many tools featured during the presentation are already available for your teaching and research purposes at UNSW. Attend this free event and learn more about the capabilities and advantages of virtual instrumentation and the ‘Design-Prototype-Deploy’ methodology. Outlined below is the event agenda and overview of each session:

12pm – 2.00pm - Empowering Interdisciplinary Research using Virtual Instrumentation:
During this session, we will discuss topics including:

  • Addressing Interdisciplinary Research Instrumentation Challenges with Virtual Instrumentation
  • Successful Interdisciplinary Research Applications Using NI Technology

We will also discuss the ‘Design-Prototype-Deploy’ methodology; a methodology based on the model-based design process. With this approach, you can connect other algorithm design tools with NI LabVIEW, program off-the-shelf hardware for rapid system prototyping, and deploy to either off-the-shelf or custom hardware for 10 times faster design cycles.

3.00pm – 5.00pm: Free LabVIEW Training Course:

UNSW licensing for Research on Campus. This free training course delivers excellent value and a great opportunity for you to gain free training using LabVIEW. This session will introduce and explore the capabilities of NI LabVIEW and cover basic fundamental concepts including:

  • Creating a Virtual Instrument (VI) in LabVIEW
  • Dataflow programming concepts
  • SubVIs and modular code creation
  • Data Acquisition in LabVIEW
  • Basic programming architectures and much more

Additionally, example applications and demonstrations will cover:
  • Automating existing instrumentation
  • Better use of MATLAB/SIMULINK code - running your textual code on LabVIEW and LabVIEW Real-Time
  • Simulation and verification of your models - take simulation to the real world and connecting your designs with real-world data

Many tools featured during the presentation are already available for your teaching and research purposes at UNSW.

Jeremy Taylor, UNSW Account Manager will also be available to discuss your individual requirements during and after the event.
