National Instruments UK & Ireland is organising a series of webcasts to provide tips and techniques for developing automated test systems. The six-part series of interactive webcasts will highlight key enabling technologies, from modular instrumentation to test executive software.
Taking place between 1 and 10 March 2011, each webcast will be broadcast at 10:00 and 14:00, giving attendees the opportunity to interact directly with presenters and test experts. The webcasts will also be available on demand after the series is complete at ni.com/uk/testwebcastseries.
The programme for the webcast series is as follows:
See how modular instrumentation based on the industry-standard PXI platform can provide a solid foundation upon which to build powerful test systems. Gain an understanding of basic instrument specifications, such as bandwidth, sampling rate, resolution and accuracy, and discover the fundamental knowledge required to select the right instruments for each application.
Learn how to develop automated test and validation systems faster with NI TestStand, the powerful ready-to-run test management software package. See how it can be used to develop test executive software that manages and executes test sequences written in any programming language and integrates with enterprise systems.
Test systems for complex products often require custom or field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-enabled test hardware. Discover how to implement protocol-aware tests with scalable, high-level tools using standard building blocks or custom implementations.
Whether developing an aircraft wing, a suspension bridge or a wind turbine, structural testing is key to ensuring the critical safety of the deployed system. Learn ways to rapidly acquire and analyse test measurement data such as force, strain, sound and vibration using an open, scalable test and measurement platform.
Examine ways to combine the advantages of graphical system design, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, deterministic buses and simulation models to design, prototype and deploy the next generation of military, automotive and avionics systems.
Learn how to use the software-defined PXI platform to take five common RF measurements, including phase noise, noise figure and power.
