Keynote

8:30 - 10:00 AM

Ballrom G

Dr. James Truchard, who has served as CEO of National Instruments for 33 years, coinvented NI LabVIEW graphical programming software. He also pioneered the graphical system design approach, helping engineers and scientists solve difficult problems by providing tools that take advantage of real-time, high-performance computing and field- programmable gate array (FPGA)-based signal processing. Join Dr. Truchard as he discusses how graphical systemdesign will continue to take advantage of the latest advances in multicore and heterogeneouscomputing to meet complex challenges, from big physics to green engineering, as well aslower design costs.

LabWindows/CVI Developers Lunch

12:00 PM

Tables: 6 - 8

Chat with LabWindows/CVI developers and other users. Provide feedback for feature suggestions, discuss your applications and get advice from CVI developers and other users!

HALT/HASS Automated Test with the NI LabWindows™/CVI Real-Time Module

CD Failure Test

1:30 PM

Expo Floor Test Section

Be sure to catch the demo and watch as we run a failure test of a CD by controlling a LabWindows/CVI Real-Time application on a PXI embedded controller from an ASP.NET and Measurement Studio web page. We will be ramping the motor speed to spin the CD above 25,000 RPM and attempt to shatter it. You don't want to miss this failure test!

Certified LabWindows/CVI Developer Exam

1:00 PM – 5:00 PM

5B

Become a Certified LabWindows/CVI Developer by taking the Certified LabWindows/CVI Developer Exam during NI Week.

Porting a Legacy Control System to PXI with LabWindows/CVI Real-Time

4:45 PM

Room 13A/B

Learn about a factory control system that was ported from a Multibus II architecture to the PXI platform. Discover the economic benefit of the conversion, why engineers chose PXI and LabWindows/CVI Real-Time, how they ported the ANSI C software, key lessons learned, and the performance characteristics of the final system.

NI Community Block Diagram Party

5:00- 7:30 PM

Exhibition Hall

Enjoy food, drinks, music, and good company at the third annual NI Community Block Diagram Party! Exchange best practices with fellow engineers and scientists from a range of industries and companies, and meet with leaders in design, control, and test to discuss the latest technical innovations. Also visit with more than 100 exhibitors to see the newest tools, applications, and solutions using NI products.
