National Instruments Symposium compresses NI Week into a day
Written by Mike Edwards November 30, 2009
The National Instruments annual NI Week summer conference in Austin, TX, provides a great opportunity to indulge in the latest in virtual instrumentation and graphical system design.But for the unlucky design and test engineers who can’t get out of the office for that event, luckily National Instruments brings a piece of NI Week to Canada every year.
 
At the November 2009 NI Technical Symposium day in Toronto, there was a terrific chance to check out “What’s New” in LabVIEW, LabVIEW FPGA, CompactRIO, CompactDAQ and even get a “hand-on” session with NI VeriStand. Click here to listen to Rick Ary of National Instruments describe the event.
Gold sponsors of the Symposium, PCB Piezoelectronics and Virginia Panel Corporation, were there to answer questions about their TEDS devices and mass interconnect products.
Bronze sponsors ViewPoint Systems, Averna and SCImech were able to talk about their automated test systems and test data management software.
Watch the pages of Design Product News magazine and dpncanada.com in the coming months for more news about National Instruments and its Symposium sponsors.

This video was submitted by a DPN reader at Industrial Shape & Form Ltd. in Anmore, BC, to illustrate how a marine propeller pattern is made using traditional woodworking methods. IS&F also manufactures many types of molds from foundry patterns, thermoforming tools and rotational molds, as well as makes prototypes and other low volume products. CAUTION: Wood chips and noisy saws, so wear eye and ear protection!
