May 2013 User Group Meeting

Experimental Physics using LabVIEW is the topic brought to us by physics students at Utah Valley University, taught by Dr. Bonnie Andersen. They will be showing several projects including: Measuring Brewster’s Angle of Superconductors, Universal Negation Device to Evaluate And Destroy (UNDEAD) Zombies, Improving Solar Cell Efficiency, and Measuring Behavior of a Chaotic Pendulum Using a Wii Remote. Also this meeting, more LabVIEW Tips n Tricks, including Extending Quick Drop by Carl Wecker,Maxtec This meeting is open to LabVIEW users or anyone interested in learning more about LabVIEW. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP on NI.com.

March 2013 User Group Meeting

This month we welcome a BYU Senior Capstone Team sponsored by TD Williamson. They are creating a production test fixture to validate sensor packages used in pigging of oil and gas pipelines. The application requires motion control and data acquisition running under LabVIEW Real-Time and FPGA on a CompactRIO platform. We will also have a LabVIEW Tips n Tricks segment, so bring them if you’ve got them! This meeting is open to LabVIEW users or anyone interested in learning more about LabVIEW. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP on NI.com or send email to uvlabview@gmail.com.

January 2013 User Group Meeting

Is the error cluster just a bundle of bad news to you? Join us for LabVIEW Error Handling – More Than Just Error In, Error Out, a presentation by Robert Mortensen of Endigit and Jason Dahl of Integrated Pro that will help you to better understand this important part of quality LabVIEW application development. Bring your questions/experience and join the discussion! This meeting is open to LabVIEW users or anyone interested in learning more about LabVIEW. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP on NI.com or send email to uvlabview@gmail.com

November 2012 User Group Meeting

Roundtables Revisited! There was such a good response to the last meeting where we had roundtables but ran out of time, so we're going to devote the entire meeting this time. Extend your LabVIEW knowledge through hands-on, small group discussions on topics including Application Development, LabVIEW 2012 Sample Projects including Actor Framework, Computational Programming Using LabVIEW, DAQmx and Connectivity. This meeting is open to LabVIEW users or anyone interested in learning more about LabVIEW. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP on NI.com or send email to uvlabview@gmail.com

September 2012 User Group Meeting

Please join us for a presentation from Robert Mortensen, a Certified LabVIEW Architect from Endigit: LabVIEW Architecture Components I Use in Every Project. The presentation will cover core LabVIEW components and design decisions used over and over again in LabVIEW application creation such as: configuration files, exit queues, status/error reporting and logging, loop planning and timing, and more! This meeting is open to LabVIEW users or anyone interested in learning more about LabVIEW. Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP on NI.com or send email to uvlabview@gmail.com.

July 2012 User Group Meeting

Jay Eyring, a Certified LabVIEW Developer working at the BYU Physics Department, will present on the topic: Leveraging the Power of NI LabVIEW to Automate Multichannel Directivity Measurements of a Concert Grand Piano in an Anechoic Chamber. This presentation won an award at the Nov 2011 Acoustical Society of America meeting! To work on these very large datasets required integration of several LabVIEW features and toolkits including TDMS streaming data acquisition, control using NI Statechart module, video processing with NI Vision and analysis of sound field measurements with NI Diadem and NI Sound & Vibration Toolkit. Come and learn from someone who is very knowledgeable and hands-on with LabVIEW. There will also be LabVIEW Tips and Tricks and Q&A.

May 2012 User Group Meeting

Join us to learn 5 Great Ways to Hack Windows with LabVIEW from Robert Mortensen, Endigit. Following, Fred Klaas and Cory Stuart will present on novel Neutron Spectrometer instruments being developed by MSI Photogenics and their plan to use high throughput, NI PCIx-based FPGA systems to improve data acquisition and pulse analysis performance.
