This latest version of the company’s graphical programming environment includes advances in multicore and real-time programming.

NIWeek offers visitors the opportunity to network with over 3,000 engineers, scientists, educators, and NI developers, as well as attending advanced technical presentations, hands-on workshops, case studies, and panel discussions. “The original purpose of NIWeek was to enable direct dialogue between our customers and NI’s scientists and engineers,” said NI’s senior vp, r&d, Tim Dehne. “However, few companies enjoy the good fortune of having customers who are also passionate scientists and engineers. This embodies the spirit of what NIWeek is all about and there certainly seems to be an appetite for NIWeek’s close contact and feedback.”
