Session Topics

AI-Powered Automated Test and Measurement

AI is changing how engineers develop, test, and analyze — but not all AI tools are built with engineering workflows in mind. This session introduces Nigel AI Advisor, NI's AI assistant purpose-built for test applications. Learn how Nigel helps you learn faster, develop faster, and get better data insights, all while keeping an engineer in the loop and your IP secure.

What's New in NI Hardware and Software

Get a comprehensive look at NI's latest hardware and software releases, and a sneak peek at the future direction of NI's test ecosystem — including LabVIEW, InstrumentStudio, TestStand, and FlexLogger.

Test More in Less Time with NI PXI

Speed, accuracy, and scalability — this session explores how the PXI platform and NI's software suite can increase test throughput, shorten development cycles, and cut costs. Learn how PXI integrates with InstrumentStudio, LabVIEW, and TestStand to streamline validation and production testing from day one.

From Sensing to Action: Scalable Measurement and Control

NI's modular hardware and flexible software workflows make it possible to start simple and scale fast. This session covers how teams can move from basic automation to real-time decision-making without retooling their entire infrastructure. Includes live demos and open Q&A.

From S-Parameters to PAE: A Unified PXI Approach to RF Parametric Test

PXI-based RF instruments make it possible to build complete parametric test systems — from basic S-parameter measurements to nonlinear measurements like P1dB and Psat — in a single chassis. This session walks through an example approach to PA and LNA testing, including software integration for both manual and fully automated measurement workflows.

Save Time and Money with Tailored, Prebuilt Aerospace and Defense Test Systems

Modern aerospace and defense programs demand test platforms that are flexible, reusable, and fast to deploy. This session covers how ATE Core Configuration enables exactly that — and how NI's Hardware-in-the-Loop technologies help engineering teams validate complex systems faster, safer, and with greater confidence before deployment.

From Research to Real-World Deployment: Accelerating Wireless Innovation with USRP

USRP software-defined radios have become the platform of choice for developing and deploying next-generation wireless and defense systems. This session covers the full USRP hardware portfolio, software ecosystem, and development workflows — including UHD, GNU Radio, FPGA acceleration, and open-source tools. Real-world examples span SATCOM, NTN, radar, electronic warfare, spectrum monitoring, positioning, and academic research.

From Trends to Test Platforms: How NI Is Investing in Life Sciences

For over 30 years, NI has supported medical device makers in bringing safer products to market faster. This session looks at the industry trends reshaping MedTech today — miniaturization, wireless connectivity, AI, personalized therapy, robotics, and cybersecurity regulation — and shows where NI is investing to meet the test challenges they create. Includes live demos, a customer case study, and a look at what's ahead across hardware, software, and measurement data.

Hands-On Session Room

Get hands-on time with NI hardware and software in a guided lab environment. Two stations available:

PXI Station: Work directly with NI PXI hardware and software. Use InstrumentStudio, LabVIEW, and TestStand to interact with hardware, build language-agnostic code modules, and schedule and debug automated tests.
cDAQ Station: Work directly with NI CompactDAQ. Learn how to take measurements, trigger signals, and log data to disk for post-analysis.

(Hands-on room runs 10:40 AM – 12:15 PM and 2:00 – 4:00 PM)*
