Keynotes
- Graphical Design Platforms for Embedded Systems
Dr. Edward Lee, Professor, Chair of Electrical Engineering, and Associate Chair of EECS, University of California, BerkeleyThe world is becoming increasingly intelligent with embedded systems in almost every device including consumer electronics and time-critical systems. View this keynote from NIWeek 2006 and explore the importance of timing and concurrency in the design of embedded systems and how actor-oriented languages present inherent benefits for the design of such systems. Dr. Lee also discusses the benefits and challenges presented by graphical design platforms.
- Programming Modern FPGA Platforms
Ivo Bolsens, Chief Technology Officer, XilinxFPGAs must be programmable while providing high computational efficiency, concurrent memory access, and rich on-chip interconnectivity. These needs make FPGAs efficient for domains such as signal processing, packet processing, and high-performance computing. At this keynote, learn about proposals for different high-level tools that need flexible architectures to meet the performance and sophistication needs of different domains.
- Getting It Right the First Time: Modeling and Simulation for Automotive ECU Design
Dennis Bogden, Director, Electronics Integration and Systems, GM PowertrainModeling and simulation in automotive embedded controls design has enabled robust designs by accounting for variation that cannot be attained through empirical testing. In this keynote from NIWeek 2006, learn about the elements of modeling and simulation (plant, signal delivery, and functional or algorithm models) and explore tools to create and analyze designs through cosimulation. Bogden also discusses the convergence of empirical testing and models.
- Graphical Design Holds the Key to Boosting Productivity
Jeff Kodosky, Business and Technology Fellow, National InstrumentsLabVIEW inventor and National Instruments cofounder Jeff Kodosky looks at how graphical programming helps engineers and scientists worldwide reach the market faster than ever before by addressing the growing compression of the design cycle. In this keynote from NIWeek 2006, Kodosky examines original LabVIEW specifications and explains how those enable present and future complex design applications.
Design
- Control Prototyping with LabVIEW for Haptic and Telerobotic Systems
Dr. Wayne Book, Ramirez Distinguished Chair in Fluid Power, Georgia Institute of TechnologyHaptics and telerobotics applications include electronic steering, space exploration, surgical training, and computer-aided design. In this presentation from NIWeek 2006, hear more about how LabVIEW is used for both teleoperation research and haptic device development at Georgia Tech.
- Platforms for Advanced Algorithm Development and Verification
Paul Goossens, Director of Market Development, MaplesoftThis Webcast on-Demand demonstrates how integrating mathematical tools such as Maple and LabVIEW can increase your productivity when designing algorithms. Learn how to validate your algorithms using real-world I/O.
- Graphical Design for Multicore Processors
Randy Martin, Product Marketing Manager, QNX Software SystemsIn this Webcast on-Demand, explore how you can use the QNX Neutrino real-time operating system and Intel multicore designs with LabVIEW Embedded to simplify multiprocessor system programming.
- Floating- and Fixed-Point Filter Design with the LabVIEW Digital Filter Design Toolkit
Shawn McCaslin, Senior Group Manager, National InstrumentsWith modern digital filter design tools, you can design optimal FIR and IIR digital filters with a variety of senses of optimality. In this Webcast on-Demand, explore floating- and fixed-point filter design.
Prototype
- Implementing High-performance IP to FPGA-based COTS Prototypes
Robert Nick, Director, Business Development, CeloxicaOnce algorithms are designed and you need to create your first prototype, using standardized, off-the-shelf hardware platforms can decrease your time to first prototype by 10X. This web event will showcase how to integrate high-performance FPGA IP from C-based tools such as Celoxica DK Design Suite into LabVIEW FPGA. Once integrated into LabVIEW FPGA, you can deploy this IP on a wide variety of FPGA-based prototyping platforms from National Instruments.
- Rapidly Prototyping Automotive ECUs with CompactRIO
Carroll Dase, President, DrivvenIn this Webcast on-Demand, explore how Drivven used CompactRIO and LabVIEW to implement a flexible, high-performance engine control platform that includes custom hardware and engine control IP in less time and for less money than other platforms.
- Create Hardware-in-the-Loop Testing Systems for BMW with LabVIEW and PXI
Orazio Ragonesi, Director of Automation and Simulation, MicronovaIn this Webcast on-Demand, see how LabVIEW integrates with model-based design tools such as The MathWorks, Inc. Simulink® software and NI MATRIXx to add I/O to dynamic system models for rapid control prototyping and hardware-in-the-loop testing.
- Creating a Custom CompactRIO LIN Communication for Automotive Electronic Subsystem Prototyping
Jesse Beeker, Field Applications Engineer, Transportation and Standard Products Group, Freescale SemiconductorFor prototyping and evaluation of automotive design, Freescale developed a LINbus communication module for the NI CompactRIO prototyping platform. In this Webcast on-Demand, learn how this module can quickly take you from node concept to reality.
Deploy
- Rapid Prototyping of Medical Devices with CompactRIO
Jeff Stevens, Principal Systems Engineer, Sanarus MedicalIn this Webcast on-Demand, learn how Sanarus used CompactRIO and LabVIEW to design its algorithm and deliver high-quality deployable prototypes for its next-generation breast cancer treatment product while meeting an aggressive development timeline.
- Prototype to Custom Deployment in Hours
Erik Goethert, Program Manager, Boston EngineeringIn this Webcast on-Demand, review some of the lessons learned from Boston Engineering projects to avoid the “broken wires” (in other words, the reworking and unnecessary design iterations) in the graphical system design process.
