Embedded Technologies Forum

On Wednesday the 19th of November National Instruments, along with Symmetry Innovations and Embedded Logic hosted the first Embedded Technologies Forum at Sydney Olympic Park.

Matej Krajnc, the branch manager of NI Oceania presented the welcoming address, which focussed on how graphical system design provides a single platform for engineers to design, prototype and deploy new products.

The presentations that followed explained how LabVIEW can be used to develop software to run on various targets including Windows, real-time operating systems, FPGAs, DSPs and microprocessors.

Symmetry Innovations explained the QNX Embedded Real-time Operating System, and described multi-core and adaptive partitioning with the QNX advanced runtime module. Embedded Logic presented on the Wind River tools, and how LabVIEW integrates with the Keil Microcontroller Development Kit for programming ARM microcontrollers.

A highlight of the forum was the guest speaker, Anthon Voigt, a Senior Electronic Engineer from DebTech in South Africa. Anthon gave a fantastic presentation on how DebTech has used LabVIEW to target PXI, compactRIO, and analogue devices blackfin processors, to develop diamond sorting machines for the South African Mining giant, De Beers.
