NI Week Day Two

So, what is my best new feature of Day 2? Altough is difficult to decide, without any question is the NI Hypervisor.

This new tools allow to run both Windows and LabVIEW RT in the same CPU!!!! The idea, although not new, is genius. If a computer has several CPUs, why not have different OS running on those different CPUs? I know the problem is way more complex of what I've just mentioned, that you get the latest idea, right?

here is the video with the Hypervisor running

NI Week Day One

What an exciting day! For those of you who are not familiar with the NIWeek Keynote, day 1 is when we show new product that are typically release that same day. As promised, here is a list of the products that are more relevant to control application

- LabVIEW 2009. As we have been doing for the past 5 years, we release a new version of LabVIEW. At this point I don't think many people is surprised we announced we are moving to a yearly release cycle. Probably the most shocking news is that we change the "version" name of LabVIEW to reflect that change.

You can find new features in LabVIEW 2009 in the following link.

NIWeek 2009 with a spin on control

NIWeek 2009 is almost here.

NIWeek is the industry's premier event on graphical system design and attracts more than 3,000 of the world's brightest engineers, educators, and scientists. The conference lasts for three days full of interactive technical sessions, targeted summits, hands-on workshops, and exhibitions on the latest developments for design, control, automation, manufacturing, and test.

With so many new features is often difficult to find what is more useful or interesting for your particular case. I'm going to make a wild guess here, but if you are reading this blog you might be interested in (mostly) control and simulation stuff. So, for the first time, this year you are going to have someone who will point you to the new features and applications that are geared toward those areas.

Enjoy!
