Presentations from the Automotive Solutions Conference are now available for you to view below:

Keynote: Automotive Challenges - More Technology, Faster Development, Fewer Emissions

Design: LabVIEW for System Design and Simulation
Review the capabilities of LabVIEW early in the design cycle - from integration with third-party simulation tools to dedicated LabVIEW modules.

Prototype and Deploy: LabVIEW and COTS Hardware for Embedded Systems
Learn about the NI hardware options available for prototyping and deploying automotive applications, and discover ways you can tighthly integrate this COTS
hardware with the LabVIEW graphical programming environment for rapid control prototyping (RCP) and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test.

Using LabVIEW for ECU Design and Automotive Diagnostics
Explore the suite of NI products specifically for the automotive industry, including the NI Automotive Diagnostic Command Set, NI ECU Measurement and Calibration ToolKit and tools for communication with CAN, LIN and FlexRay Devices.

"It's Not All LabVIEW": An Alternative Approach to Developing Test Rig Software by Alan Barlow, TRW Conekt
Discuss the challenges validation test rig design engineers face and how TRW Conekt has addressed these by using NI LabWindows/CVI software. Compare the benefits of LabWindows/CVI and LabVIEW software for this application and learn about the design principles you can adopt to ensure repeated successful system delivery.

Mobile Daquire System, by Paul Riley, CCS
See how this system is equipped with high-speed digital inputs (for gear/encoder/toothed wheel sensing) to help synchronise vibration analysis with generic analogue inputs, thermocouple inputs and CAN data.

The URT: A Multiprotocol RF Radio Signal Tester with Record and Playback Capabilities, by Etienne Frenette, Mindready Solutions
Discover how it is now possible to record up to 20 MHz of RF bandwidth over a wide dynamic range using a special preamplifier with AGC. The Universal Radio Tester can also generate virtually all RF signals used in radio and navigation broadcasting around the world.

Automotive Measurement Technology: In-Vehicle and in the Lab
Learn about the platforms suitable for different automotive measurements including USB–based in-vehicle data logging and suspension system noise, vibration and harshness measurments.
