Massive online sensors and automation resource
Engineers and scientists now can join an online community of experts, NI Developer Zone, to help them design and implement measurement and automation systems.
Since 1995, engineers from around the world have gathered at NIWeek to learn about cost-efficient, flexible technologies for creating advanced test, monitoring, and control solutions from designing a product in the research lab to producing it on the manufacturing floor.
Last year, customers from more than 50 countries attended the conference, representing a wide variety of industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, and aerospace.
"NIWeek is an opportunity to learn about cutting-edge innovations and emerging technologies in the measurement and automation industry while interacting with customers, fellow systems integrators, and NI developers", said Tim Brooks, President of B and B Technologies, an NI Select Integrator.

"With more than 100 technical sessions and on-the-spot training, it is a complete resource for the tools and training we need to increase our customers' system performance and lower their costs".
The Austin Convention Centre, NIWeek's annual venue, doubled in size this year, lending room for the conference's growth and expansion.
This year, the customer and technology conference offers more technical sessions featuring presenters from some of the most successful companies in the world.
These companies will share their unique approaches to solving measurement and automation applications using virtual instrumentation.
For example, Boeing Commercial Airplane Group will demonstrate how they accelerate testing of signal transmission impedance on airplanes, and Sony will show how they easily connect digital cameras using IEEE1394 or FireWire high-speed serial bus to reduce costs and boost productivity.
"Now more than ever, the compelling cost savings and productivity gains of virtual instrumentation are helping customers meet tight time and budget requirements", said James Truchard, NI President and CEO.
"At NIWeek, delegates learn from NI developers and colleagues around the world how they can benefit from standard, affordable computer technology through NI's powerful software and modular hardware". Request free introductory details about products from National Instruments ...
