Newbury, UK, Feb 3,
2011 National Instruments
UK & Ireland is producing a series of webcasts to provide tips
and techniques for engineers and scientists involved in 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
1st and 10th March, each webcast will be broadcast at
10am and 2pm, giving attendees the opportunity to directly interact
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:
1stMarch, 10am and 2pm - Choosing the Right
Modular Instruments Based on Your DUT Requirements
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.
2ndMarch, 10am and 2pm - Introduction to NI
TestStand
Learn how to develop automated test
and validation systems faster with NI TestStand, powerful
ready-to-run test management software. 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.
3rdMarch, 10am and 2pm - Increase Your Test
Capabilities with Reconfigurable FPGA Technology
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.
8thMarch, 10am and 2pm - Structural and
Acoustical Testing for Efficient and Safe Systems
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.
9thMarch, 10am and 2pm - Real-Time Testing of
Complex Systems
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.
10thMarch, 10am and 2pm - Five RF Measurements Every Engineer Should
Know
Learn how to use the
software-defined PXI platform to take five common RF measurements,
including phase noise, noise figure and power.
