NI PXI Chassis and Controllers Increase Dedicated Bandwidth
You can use the new NI PXI Express chassis and controllers to improve performance for PXI systems and integrate high-bandwidth PXI Express modules as they become available. The new chassis and controllers add capabilities from the latest PXI specification, which defines PXI Express to increase PXI bandwidth by 45 times, to integrate the industry's best timing and synchronization, and to preserve compatibility with existing software and more than 1,000 PXI modules.

Empowering Innovation for 30 Years
May 2006 represents 30 years since three engineers started a technology company in Austin, Texas, known as National Instruments. Technology has changed dramatically over the past 30 years, and many technology companies have come and gone during this time. How is it that National Instruments has been able to keep its momentum and growth for 30 years? We believe it fundamentally comes from a focus on innovation and continuous improvement built around a deep and solid understanding of our core.

Web Event: RF Continuous-Wave Measurement Applications
Learn how to use PXI-based, modular RF instruments to set up and make common RF measurements. See how to perform sweep- and single-tone tests, and learn how to set up sophisticated stimulus-response applications as well as other measurement applications, such as measuring total harmonic distortion and intermodulation distortion, using the new RF continuous-wave signal generators and the RF vector signal analyzer.

Web Event: Advanced Control Schemes with PACs
Get a brief overview of PID, fuzzy logic control, and the process of combining control schemes. Many real-world systems have multiple inputs or exhibit nonlinearities, so a simple PID I/O module may not provide a good control scheme. Programmable automation controllers (PACs) such as NI Compact FieldPoint can implement flexible control schemes, which use multiple inputs or respond to system nonlinearities.
