Get on the web to overcome the challenges of traditional embedded development

The free, four-part series demonstrates how NI and leading companies Maplesoft, Celoxica and Analog Devices are overcoming the challenges of traditional embedded development using National Instruments LabVIEW software to more efficiently design, prototype and deploy their embedded systems.

Series events demonstrate how engineers and scientists can use NI LabVIEW to streamline the design process by integrating algorithm design, prototyping using flexible FPGA-based hardware such as NI CompactRIO, then deploying to custom hardware such as Analog Devices Blackfin Processors. Using graphical system design, both experienced and novice embedded developers can design sophisticated embedded systems without the need for low-level programming, thus increasing efficiency and reducing development time.

Readers can watch the first event now as Dr. James Truchard, NI Cofounder, President and CEO, discusses the challenge of the historically fragmented and expensive design space and the future of LabVIEW in design.
