(Nasdaq: NATI NATI National Association of Teen Institutes NATI Newfoundland Association of Technical Industries ) LabVIEW(TM) demonstration at NIWeek 2002. The demonstration will showcase how the two leading software packages integrate together by developing, testing, measuring and analyzing a control system design application. "By integrating LabVIEW and Mathcad, design engineers can compare real-world data to theoretical models earlier and more easily in their design process," said Ray Almgren, Vice President of Product Strategy at National Instruments. "This integration of measurements in the design process reduces the number of design iterations from model to prototype and ultimately helps reduce time to market for new products." MathSoft will showcase its demonstration of the two software products at the NIWeek Design Pavilion in Austin, Texas, on August 14-16. NIWeek, the world's leading virtual instrumentation Virtual Instrumentation is the use of customizable software and modular measurement hardware to create user-defined measurement systems, called virtual instruments. conference, offers three days of interactive technical sessions, hands-on training, exhibitions and workshops on the latest networked and computer-based technologies for measurement and automation. For the demonstration, LabVIEW graphical measurement software will be utilized to virtually design and control a heated chamber using a model developed in Mathcad. Users will be shown how to export the acquired temperature data from LabVIEW directly into Mathcad for further data analysis as well as project documentation and collaboration Working together on a project.
