NIWeek Preliminary Conference Program 2008 - (Page 12) EMBEDDED DESIGN TRACK (NEW) Hands-On: CompactRIO Part II – Programming with LabVIEW FPGA You have probably heard about the power, flexibility, and reliability of FPGAs. Learn how easy LabVIEW makes programming FPGAs and gain hands-on experience programming FPGAs within a CompactRIO system. Presented by National Instruments Deploying, Replicating, and Monitoring LabVIEW Real-Time Systems Learn about the tools available to efficiently deploy your LabVIEW Real-Time application, replicate it across many systems, and monitor and maintain the deployed systems. Presented by National Instruments Completing the NI CompactRIO Design Platform with NI Multisim and NI Ultiboard Design and test engineers can learn best practices for completing their CompactRIO platforms. Using powerful Multisim simulation and Ultiboard layout, learn to finish complete systems with custom modules or signal conditioning. With this hybrid design approach, find out how to deploy quicker with the combined power of the NI Circuit Design Suite and CompactRIO. Presented by National Instruments Design Reuse with LabVIEW FPGA Copying and tweaking LabVIEW FPGA code may be the quickest way to produce complicated applications, but those practices can result in higher long-term maintenance costs and reduced opportunities for reuse. Learn techniques to become a more productive LabVIEW FPGA designer by using and creating reusable VIs. Presented by National Instruments Graphical System Design in a Multicore Environment Open standard technologies offer reduced costs, faster deployment, and the ability to customize and future-proof applications. Take advantage of dual-core and multicore processor performance for embedded design. Learn about the benefits of multicore architectures, parallelism in hardware, and the role software plays when designers use multicore processing. Presented by National Instruments LabVIEW State Machines and the LabVIEW Statechart Module A state machine is a power programming architecture used by many LabVIEW programmers. Examine the LabVIEW state machine architecture and modifications that dramatically improve productivity. Explore the new LabVIEW Statechart Module, and view a demonstration on how this module further extends the LabVIEW state machine architecture. Presented by National Instruments Cornell University Automotive X-Prize Team and NI The Cornell University AXP team designed a new form of automobile that reduces nonrenewable energy consumption and harmful emissions. Discover how members used LabVIEW and the NI cRIO-9012 embedded real-time controller as both a central part of the vehicle control architecture and an innovative eco-feedback system. Presented by Cornell University Embedded BSP Development Board support package (BSP) development can be tricky for new processors. Hear about one company’s experiences in developing a commercially available BSP for a new target. Also learn about integration to the IDE, debugging, driver development, and linking to existing code. Presented by Boston Engineering Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation Using hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation, engineers can begin testing control units earlier in the development process and with greater test coverage, compared to physical testing alone. Learn how companies use HIL simulation within different industries, and view a presentation on general architecture for building your own HIL simulator. Presented by National Instruments Mechatronics Considerations for Assisting Humans Explore the concept of smart shoes that measure the distribution of foot pressures for phase estimation in a human gait and detection of abnormalities. Based on the estimated phase, a control algorithm is adapted for the most effective assistance to the user. Presented by University of California, Berkeley Integrating Third-Party Software and Hardware into Real-Time Applications Learn which tools are available to help integrate your third-party software or hardware into a National Instruments real-time system. Presented by National Instruments Embedded Systems Teaching and Research at Berkeley Learn about the creation of two new Berkeley courses based on LabVIEW that teach embedded systems and circuit design. In addition, discuss the use of LabVIEW in embedded systems research relating to timing, triggering, and multicore processors. Presented by University of California, Berkeley Hands-On: Multicore Programming with LabVIEW Explore programming considerations to develop LabVIEW applications for multicore processors. Learn parallel programming techniques, debugging tips and tricks, and best practices for multicore programming to see maximum performance on the latest processor technology.
