NI Automotive Seminar
September 2015
News
The automotive industry is rapidly evolving due to increased consumer demands, market pressures, and legislative requirements. To remain competitive, or even present in the market place, automobile manufacturers must be able to find and eliminate errors, before they are passed on to the customer, within tight project deadlines and allotted budget.
Join the NI Automotive Seminar to learn about the technologies needed to develop effective and efficient test systems that ensure product quality and compliance, allowing manufacturers to stay competitive and ahead of market demand:
• Hear industry success stories about how companies reduced their time, cost, and risk associated with automotive testing.
• Open hardware and software platform for hardware-in-the-loop testing of any embedded system.
• Prototyping ECU control strategies on real-time targets and interfacing with engine sub-components like spark plugs, port fuel injectors, throttles, cam & crank etc.
• Compact, rugged systems for multi-sensor in-vehicle measurements and synchronization of vehicle network and sensor data.
• Single modular platform, for testing RF/video/audio/vehicle networks, and other I/O, for end of line testing of Infotainment systems and other automotive components.
• Watch live demos and get a chance to discuss your application with NI technical experts at the event.
