Research Lab

Webcast: Test and Measurement Platform for Nanotechnology Research
Turnkey instrumentation available for nanotechnology is limited in functionality, flexibility, and oftentimes cost-prohibitive. Virtual Instrumentation provides comprehensive, low-cost tools for addressing such challenges with wide ranges of measurement and control devices and software.
View a webcast to learn more.

Webcast Series: Technology Platforms for Dynamic Systems and Controls LabVIEW provides an integrated development environment for design, prototyping, and real-time deployment. This webcast series includes a discussion of the graphical system design paradigm for control and mechatronics systems and walks through several software demonstrations featuring the LabVIEW Simulation Module, LabVIEW Control Design Toolkit, LabVIEW System Identification Toolkit, and more.
Unmanned Underwater Vehicle Virtual Lab Uses LabVIEW and CompactRIO The Mobile & Marine Robotics Research Center in Limerick, Ireland created an open, flexible platform to develop, implement, and test advanced control algorithms for unmanned underwater vehicles using the LabVIEW Simulation Module, the LabVIEW State Diagram Toolkit, CompactRIO, and the Compact Vision System.

Student Corner

Getting Started Videos for Signal Processing and Control
View short, three- to six-minute how-to videos that walk through specific tasks in LabVIEW. The first in a series of several focused how-to videos shows you how to quickly learn to use LabVIEW to export a digital filter design to a text file, AM modulate a message signal, and model a second-order system and see its transient response.
See the new videos.

LabVIEW 8.20 Student Edition Software Suite DVD Now Available
You can use the LabVIEW 8.20 Student Edition, featuring MathScript, to combine intuitive, graphical dataflow programming with your math-oriented m-file scripts. The DVD also includes toolkits, modules, and drivers for control design, simulation, system identification, signal processing, data acquisition, and digital filter design.
