Hot Topic TEST AND DATA ACQUISITION TRACK Building a Reconfigurable Radio Frequency/Microwave Synthetic Instrument Employing PXI Express Technology and COTS Hardware and Software Learn how to build a synthetic instrument (SI) based on PXI Express technology employing a family of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) downconverter modules, digitizers, controllers, PXI Express mainframes, and LabVIEW software encompassing the frequency range of 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz. Explore both low-frequency and radio frequency/microwave measurements. Charanbir Mahal, Chief Technology Officer, Phase Matrix Inc. Advanced Data Acquisition Techniques with Intelligent DAQ Have you ever wanted more flexible triggering options, multirate sampling, or other tasks outside the capabilities of typical data acquisition (DAQ) devices? Intelligent DAQ features a user-defined FPGA for onboard processing and custom timing and triggering. Learn how to customize your data acquisition device with NI R Series products and LabVIEW FPGA. Vineet Aggarwal, Product Manager, National Instruments Wednesday, August 6 4:45 – 5:45 p.m. Room 17A Thursday, August 7 All about High-Speed Data Streaming Learn how to architect and program high-speed data streaming applications such as RF record and playback; IF and baseband IQ streaming; and high-speed digital test based on high-throughput PXI and PXI Express instruments, chassis, and controllers. Discuss topics ranging from system-level considerations to modulespecific characteristics. Chetan Kapoor, Product Manager, National Instruments 1:00 – 2:00 p.m. Room 16A Hands On: Building Automated Test Systems with LabVIEW and NI TestStand Discover how to develop an automated test system from start to finish. Explore how to use NI TestStand test management software to quickly add sequencing, flow control, multithreading, and reporting to your LabVIEW measurements and tests. Gain hands-on experience with other NI software programs, including LabVIEW, NI Switch Executive, and NI Requirements Gateway. Mike Denton, Applications Engineer, National Instruments Tuesday, August 5 4:45 – 5:45 p.m. Room 17B Avoiding Common Pitfalls in LXI Test Systems You plug the Ethernet cable into your LXI (LAN eXtensions for Instrumentation) instrument. Now what? Learn how NI software and hardware reduce the complexity of LXI system development. Alex McCarthy, Senior Product Engineer, and Brian Powell, LabVIEW Architect, National Instruments Tuesday, August 5 Wednesday, August 6 1:00 – 4:30 p.m. 1:00 – 4:30 p.m. Room 18A Room 18A C Series Technology under the Hood Meet NI R&D engineers who design and work on the advanced technology behind NI C Series hardware. Learn how the technology allows the same module to go from a bus-powered USB device, to a synchronized desktop platform, to an advanced embedded control system – all with graphical FPGA development. Brett Burger, Product Manager, National Instruments Thursday, August 7 10:30 –11:30 a.m. Room 16B Bridging NI TestStand and Legacy Test Systems View a demonstration on how to port NI TestStand to test sequences in any legacy system. Examine a specific application: a 10,000-step automated code conversion project performed on a first-level maintenance test system to be field-deployed by the Department of National Defense. Dominique Fréchette, Director of Engineering, and Daniel Cox, Technical Writer and Communications Editor, Averna Thursday, August 7 2:15 – 3:15 p.m. Room 16B Tuesday, August 5 2:15 – 3:15 p.m. Room 17B 41
