Join us at NI Technical Symposium

NI Technical Symposium keynote presentations give attendees a first

glimpse at new cutting-edge innovations from NI as well as an opportunity

to learn about customer and real-world solutions using NI tools.

Keynote: Using a Platform-Based Approach to Create the Internet of Things

Together, you and NI are using a platform-based approach to overcome escalating complexity and create the Internet of

Things.

Join the NI executives as they explore the latest advances in the NI platform and how you are using them to speed up

test, reach measurement decisions faster and enable smarter machines in the IoT. The keynote will feature live

demonstrations of application examples and the technology powering real-world IoT systems such as wireless test, data

management, condition monitoring, and communications system design.

Among the keynote speakers are:

Ryota Ikeda, Marketing Director, APAC Marketing, National Instruments

As Marketing Director of APAC, Ryota Ikeda is responsible for NI's Marketing organization in the countries of China,

Taiwan, Japan, Korea, ASEAN, and Oceania.

Ikeda joined NI in 1993 as an Applications Engineer, prior to transfer to NI Japan in 1994. After working directly to

support customers as an AE, he held a leadership position in Strategic Marketing. He has served as the Branch

Applications Engineer for NI Japan since 2000. In 2015, he stepped into his current regional role, working in the

Marketing organization across the APAC region.

A Discussion About the Future of LabVIEW

LabVIEW has helped engineers across almost every

region, market, and industry make a marked improvement

to their everyday productivity as it relates to automating

measurements. At this session, learn about the

improvements in the latest version of LabVIEW, LabVIEW

2015, and explore where NI continues to invest in our

software platform.

Practical Advice for Ensuring Accurate Electrical Measurements

Every physical system component increases signal error,

noise, and uncertainty. Thankfully, you have many

established techniques for minimizing your DAQ system's

exposure to these predigitization errors. At this session,

hear best practices for shielding, gain, noise reduction,

grounding, and connectivity that help increase the

accuracy of your measurement.

New Hardware Technologies for DAQ Applications

Whether your application involves taking a few voltage

measurements, a few dozen sensor measurements or

even a few hundred synchronized measurements, NI is

constantly developing new technology and releasing new

products that improve your ability to meet application

requirements. This session will introduce the major DAQ

product lines for engineers less familiar with the NI

platform, before looking in detail at new hardware

releases, their enabling technology and their application

use cases. Finally it will glimpse into the future of what

the NI DAQ platform has to offer

Create Without Limits: 4 Ways to Customize Your

Software-Designed Instrument

Engineers are using software-designed instruments to

reduce test time, increase test throughput, overcome

obsolescence challenges, and perform innovative tests. In

this session, focus on four key software approaches for

developing code on software-designed instruments: (1)

using standard instrument drivers, (2) enhancing

instrument driver functionality with FPGA extensions, (3)

leveraging NI-installed sample projects, and (4) reusing

application-specific IP from the NI Community. Buckle up

for details and demonstrations of the approaches,

including FPGA code modification on NI reconfigurable

oscilloscopes and high-speed serial instruments

Real-Time Testing and Closed Loop Control with VeriStand

VeriStand is a software environment for configuring

real-time testing applications such as hardware-in-the-loop

testing for embedded software verification and test cell

control and monitoring of mechanical systems. In this

session, you will learn how you can use VeriStand to

integrate simulation models with I/O devices and perform

closed loop control with test automation.

Prototyping with Software Defined Radio for

Industry, Academic, and Defence Applications

Advancements in Software Defined Radio technology is

making wireless more accessible than ever before

benefiting industry, academia, and defense applications.

In this session, we share how you can leverage a

common software defined radio platform and choose the

right software tool flow to design, prototype, and deploy

SDR based systems. Topics include designing new

waveforms, prototyping high channel count systems,

deployed spectrum monitoring, educational teaching

solutions, and 5G research.

Choosing a Software Architecture for Your Next Embedded Application

Developing software for embedded applications can be

challenging. For starters, the business logic for these

systems is rarely simple. However, the real challenge

often lies in processes like connecting that logic to I/O,

integrating the application into an existing system, and

ensuring that the application runs properly for months or

years at a time. These projects also frequently encounter

logistical challenges such as supporting multi developer

teams with tight time-to-market pressures. At this

session, discover how a good architecture can help

address these issues and review your different

architecture options.
