Over the years, the use of COTS technology has enabled scientists and researchers to focus on their experiments rather than the instrumentation. COTS systems that leverage the rapid advancement in the computer industry for deterministic measurement and control needs provides high performance and flexibility while keeping the costs low. This hands-on training explores National Instruments LabVIEW graphical real-time and FPGA development tools and hardware platforms such as PXI and CompactRIO with built-in timing and synchronization capabilities. Discover first-hand how to design, prototype, and deploy real-time applications using NI LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA programming tools and appropriate hardware.
