Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 23, 2009

National Instruments will host the 2009 Virtual Automated Test Summit, a free technical event on 20 May featuring companies such as Averna, Cal-Bay Systems, Cyth Systems and Microsoft.

This online event includes two live keynotes, five application-focused exhibition pavilions, 25 on-demand sessions organised into five technical workshops and more than 15 vendor exhibition booths.

The Virtual Automated Test Summit offers expert-led training focused on applying best practices from the top trends in test and measurement, which include software-defined instrumentation, parallel processing techniques and new methods for wireless and semiconductor testing.

'Engineers will learn proven strategies for testing their devices more efficiently by applying technologies such as FPGAs and multi-core processing that reduce costs, maximise performance and offer more flexibility for test and measurement systems,' said Eric Starkloff, vice-president of product marketing for test and measurement at National Instruments.

'This venue offers attendees technical presentations, real-world application examples and sessions covering everything from test system best practices to RF and wireless standards testing - all from the convenience of their desks,' he added.

The event will begin with a 'Top Trends Changing the Face of Automated Test in 2009' keynote from Richard McDonell, senior group manager of product marketing for test and measurement at National Instruments.

The summit also includes an afternoon keynote on 'Lean Innovation: Testing in a Tough Economy' that will cover strategies for finding ways to stay innovative despite decreasing budgets.

For the first time, the Virtual Automated Test Summit will feature industry pavilions for the RF and wireless, semiconductor, aerospace and defence, audio and video and automotive application areas, where attendees can meet with domain experts and download technical resources consisting of white papers, reference architectures and discounted product bundles.

Starting at 10:30 CDT, attendees can log-in and interact with industry experts while navigating the expo floor and watch on-demand interactive sessions until 16:00 CDT.

They can also network with fellow engineers in QandA forums and explore the fully staffed exhibitor area where they can interact with representatives at the different booths.
