Discover the New NI ELVIS with USB M Series Data Acquisition
With USB plug-and-play connectivity, LabVIEW 8 Express VIs, and integration with Electronics Workbench Multisim and NI SignalExpress, the National Instruments Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS) provides a complete platform for teaching concepts in measurements, circuits, controls, and microcontroller design. Explore NI ELVIS through interactive demos, tutorials, and examples.
NI LabVIEW 8 Student Edition and Textbook Now Available
LabVIEW 8 Student Edition software now features MathScript, which students can use to combine intuitive, graphical dataflow programming with math-oriented textual programming. In addition, Dr. Robert H. Bishop's textbook, Learning with LabVIEW, from Prentice Hall, is updated and available for the fall semester. Find the LabVIEW 8 Student Edition for your needs.
Teaching Tools Integrated Circuits Teaching Platform With the integration of NI ELVIS and Electronics Workbench Multisim, professors and students now have access to a single toolchain to teach and learn circuit design concepts in a hands-on environment with real-world signals. Read the white paper. View the interactive tutorial. UC Berkeley Develops LabVIEW and PXI-Based Wireless Communications Lab To increase interactive learning, Dr. Ali Niknejad from the University of California at Berkeley tightly integrates communication theory classes with real-world wireless communication signals and systems. In this class, students design their own 900 MHz front-end software radios, validate their systems with hardware, and characterize their radios. Learn about the tools UC Berkeley used for their communications lab. Research Lab Integrate Control Models with Advanced UIs and LabVIEW Real-Time Hardware This tutorial features the LabVIEW Simulation Interface Toolkit to show you how to create powerful and flexible user interfaces (UIs) for simulation models developed using The MathWorks, Inc. Simulink® software. In addition, learn about linear and non-linear simulation and control including implementation using the LabVIEW Simulation Module. Explore how to use LabVIEW to create powerful UIs for simulation models. Discover how to deploy simulation models to real-time hardware with LabVIEW. Simulink® is the registered trademark of The MathWorks, Inc. Numerical Mathematics Consortium Outlines Specification for Algorithm Development The Numerical Mathematics Consortium (NMC) released its preliminary technical specification, which outlines a list of more than 250 numerical mathematical functions the consortium plans to standardize. The consortium is working to define an open mathematics semantics standard for numerical algorithm development that enables portability and reuse among tools, platforms, and disciplines. Learn more about NMC and the specification. Click here for more information. Student Corner Do You Know LabVIEW? Find a Career! Use the LabVIEW Jobs Forum created specifically for LabVIEW developers.
