Jan 21, 2010
Kingston University has purchased 30 Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (Elvis) units from National Instruments (NI).
The Elvis units were selected to equip the university's laboratories for the new Mechatronic Engineering course, which started in 2009.
Elvis, based on NI's Labview, features an integrated suite of 12 instruments in one compact form factor and is suitable for hands-on learning.
Educators use Elvis to teach concepts in circuit design, instrumentation, control, telecommunications and embedded/MCU theory.
Each Elvis unit in Kingston's laboratory is accompanied by a Freescale microprocessor teaching board.
Several experiments from Quansar, including an inverted pendulum, are also used with Elvis.
A suite of 15 NI Compactrios have been deployed in the research and teaching of advanced control.
