CompactDAQ and LabVIEW seminars

April 2017 News

During these interactive seminars, NI engineers guide delegates through hands-on exercises designed to help them evaluate CompactDAQ and LabVIEW for measurement applications to show how they can create a data acquisition system for collecting, analysing, and storing measurement data using NI hardware and software.

Highlights include:

• Understand key steps in system configuration.

• Build example data acquisition applications using a variety of sensor types including temperature, strain, vibration, and light.

• Become familiar with automating measurement acquisition and signal processing.

Who should attend?

These introductory seminars are designed for engineers and scientists who are unfamiliar with graphical application development using LabVIEW. However, existing LabVIEW users, or those already knowledgeable about the LabVIEW environment, are invited to explore the resource in terms of better serving their information needs.
