| The 16th National Congress for the Australian Institute of Physics will be held at the Australian National University in Canberra from Monday 31st January to Friday 4th of February 2005. As part of the event, we will have the latest National Instruments products on display and also be running a series of free workshops and seminars for conference attendees.
The sessions currently scheduled for Physics for the Nation are listed below. Session times will be available upon the commencement of congress. Seating for the events will be limited, so If you would like to reserve your place or if you require further information please contact Mark Phillips at 1800 300 800 or via email mark.phillips@ni.com
FREE National Instruments Sessions:
- National Instruments in Physics Education
- National Instruments in Physics Research
- Advanced Architectures for Designing LabVIEW™ Applications
- Introduction to LabVIEW Hands-On Workshop
National Instruments understands the unique requirements and challenges that researchers and educators around the world face on a daily basis and our powerful development software tools and modular hardware are a great fit to tackle these challenges. However, it's not enough merely to provide products, we also have resources which you can leverage to help your research and accelerate student learning. (see ni.com/academic for details) We are always happy to get involved and provide advice on how you can get the maximum benefits by using Virtual Instrumentation in your classrooms, labs, and research activities.
National Instruments in Physics Education
During this session, we will look at the integration of LabVIEW with other software tools – there are many software design & analysis packages commonly used in engineering and science education/research. NI is investing development resources into integrating the strengths of LabVIEW along with these tools, including Signal Express, an interactive software platform for quickly acquiring, comparing, automating, and storing electronic measurements. Using SignalExpress, you can streamline your research and teaching by quickly measuring and comparing physical signals with expected results.
National Instruments in Physics Research
During this session, learn how the concept of Virtual Instrumentation can be applied to reduce costs and increase performance of your test, measurement and control systems. We will cover new target platforms for LabVIEW – RealTime, FPGA and PDA. There is a vast array of research applications in control, embedded design, and portable computing that can benefit from LabVIEW being targeted to new platforms. We will also discuss new Modular Instruments – including the 100MS/sec Mixed Signal Suite which offers a matched set of digitizer, source, digital, and switching instruments to complement the existing PXI modular instrument offering
Advanced Architectures for Designing LabVIEW™ Applications
A must for all existing LabVIEW users. This presentation focuses on design patterns, such as State Machine, User Interface Event Handler, Master/Slave, Queued Message Handler and Producer/Consumer. Design patterns are programming techniques that have repeatedly proved themselves useful as standard architectures to base your applications around. They have evolved through the efforts of many developers and for this session have been fine-tuned for simplicity, maintainability, and readability. Furthermore, as a pattern gains acceptance, it becomes easier to recognize—this recognition alone helps other developers (and you) read and make changes to larger applications. At the end of this session, there should be time for a user Q&A session where you can ask some LabVIEW experts for advice.
This advanced session will feature a guest Academic speaker, and an evening drinks session will be sponsored by NI at the completion of formal discussions.
LabVIEW Hands-On Workshops
Session 1. An introduction to Graphical Programming with LabVIEW |
Session 2. Data Acquisition and Instrumentation with LabVIEW |
The topics covered in these 2 sessions include:
- An introduction to National Instruments and LabVIEW
- Data acquisition and how LabVIEW integrates with data acquisition products to rapidly solve your measurement needs
- Instrument control and how LabVIEW can communicate with your other instruments using standard communication technologies such as GPIB, serial, and TCP/IP
- How to expand the capabilities of your LabVIEW programs beyond acquiring data using the analysis and presentation tools in LabVIEW
- Detailed descriptions and built-in features of LabVIEW
To register, freecall 1800 300 800 or email mark.phillips@ni.com
All sessions will be scheduled at times that will cause minimal disruption to timetabled sessions at the Congress.
