National Instruments today announced a new version of its intuitive drag-and-drop software that powers the LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT 2.0 robotics kits for retail and education. With this system, children as young as 9 years old can design their own robots using new features such as color recognition, Bluetooth support and additional robot models that offer children more options to express their creativity. The software, which will be included with all ...

National Instruments has introduced LabVIEW Education Edition, a high school-focused version of its industry-standard LabVIEW graphical programming software. The new edition is designed to help educators implement project-based, hands-on learning for science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) subjects. The software was developed in collaboration with the Tufts University Center for Engineering Education and Outreach (CEEO), a leader in int...

National Instruments UK & Ireland has announced a programme to support engineers who have recently been made redundant, by greatly reducing the cost of National Instruments UK & Ireland has announced a programme to support engineers who have recently been made redundant, by greatly reducing the cost of NI LabVIEW training and certification. For just £395, engineers can take two training courses and a certification exam (for example, LabVIEW B...

National Instruments and LEGO Education continue their educational robotics collaboration with the new LEGO Education WeDo classroom robotics platform. Powered by NI LabVIEW graphical design software, LEGO Education WeDo Software is a drag-and-drop, icon-based environment that students ages 7 to 11 can use to easily program their own robotics inventions. Using WeDo software, students learn basic programming skills while designing their robotics a...

National Instruments today announced open registration for the 2009 NI Technical Symposium, a series of free, full-day technical conferences that highlight the cutting-edge technology that can help engineers and scientists increase productivity and improve efficiency. Offered in 27 cities in the United States and Canada from October through December, the conferences will deliver technical sessions, hands-on tutorials and new product demonstration...

To complement the range of Rittal’s Hygienic Design (HD) enclosures a new terminal box has been added to the product portfolio. Rittal’s HD enclosures, with a protection category of IP69K, are a key element in the design of clean rooms for open processes in the food industry, where there is an emphasis on ease of cleaning.

Design engineers working with industrial communication designs need to transmit high speed data over the communication fieldbus without the risk of damaging sensitive controllers, ADCs or sensors. The current solution uses two single-channel optocouplers or other technology, like magnetic or capacitive coupling. But this does not provide the desired level of reliable isolation and immunity to EMI.

Strategic Test has just published an Application Note that describes how to optimize the configuration of a host PC to obtain the fastest streaming to or from hard disks when using Digitizer or Arbitrary Waveform Generator PCI cards. Continous gap-free streaming of up to 200 MBytes per second is possible using COTS motherboards, RAID controller and fast S-ATA hard disks.

Strategic Test has announced the UF2e-6110 two-channel 125 MS/s 8-bit Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) PCI Express card. With synchronous multi-channel capability, the AWG card is well suited for creating complex waveforms in applications that include I&Q signal generation, RADAR system development, communications testing, laser positioning, and HDTV signal generation.
