Technologies take center stage

One of the really cool things about coming to NIWeek is seeing their new products and even some future products demo’d during the morning key note addresses. This is when the products bask in the spotlight.
Today, NI Fellow Mike Santori took the helm and helped show off products ranging from virtualization with multicore processors to announcing NI’s new product the Real Time Hypervision Software, to a guitar playing robot to some future advanced wireless communications systems.
NI continuously advances their product lines and learns new ways to measure and test different things.
Tuesday, Vice President of Marketing and Customer Operations, John Graff, talked about releases they are coming out with right now, while Santori, for the most part, talked about technologies that will hit the street down the road.
Having an open discussion about these product lines may be one reason why in a down year registration for the event is up 5% over last year.
This is all a way users can learn how to advance their processes and maybe learn a way to make some new measurements.
“We need to make more measurements,” said Jeff Kodosky, NI co-founder and father of the flagship LabVIEW product line during his Wednesday keynote. Measurements are a key element to continue pushing the technology envelope, he said.
“We have been making measurements in testing for a long time, but we need to make more measurements in design.”
