Workshops

Acquiring Measurements with LabVIEW and DAQ Hardware

• Delivered by: National Instruments Corporation
• Instructors: a team of highly trained National Instruments field engineers
• Venue and date: Hall 1 at the Great North Museum: Hancock, 4:00 PM to 5:00 PM

This workshop demonstrated the benefit of using a modular, scalable and sensor ready data acquisition platform for academic research, by exposing graduate students and researchers to NI LabVIEW and NI cDAQ.

In this workshop you could:

• Get hands on with LabVIEW and dynamic signal acquisition hardware to understand how to acquire and analyse dynamic data in both time and order domains.
• Get advice from experienced NI engineers on the challenges of integrating hands on elements into circuit design education.
