National Instruments, Austin
Since 1976, National Instruments (NI) has taken off-the-shelf semiconductor and computing technology and applied it to measurement, diagnostics and instrumentation needs. NI leverages the rapid technological advancement of the semiconductor and computer industry, while retaining the flexibility and ensuring interoperability between HW & SW. This technical session will focus on the various models of computation, multicore technology applied to measurement and diagnostic needs, communication protocols, timing and synchronization, and FPGA designed-in to meet custom needs. Additionally we will see examples of Graphical System Design being applied at CERN, Max Planck, LANL, ESO and how COTS HW & SW technologies can be used to solve instrumentation needs.
