NI X Series devices for PCI Express and PXI
Express are the most advanced data acquisition (DAQ) products ever made by NI,
with high-performance analog, digital and counter/timer functionality
integrated onto a single device. X Series DAQ devices include up to 32 analog inputs (AI),
four analog outputs (AO), 48 digital I/O lines and four counters on a single
device, and range from low-cost 250 kS/s multiplexed AI to 2 MS/s simultaneous
sampling AI. Engineers can easily define the functionality of an X Series
device in software, making them flexible enough for a variety of applications,
from basic data logging to control and test automation. The new X
Series devices also integrate a native PCI Express interface, which provides
the full 250 MB/s of PCI Express bandwidth. Some other DAQ devices use a
PCI-to-PCI Express bridge interface, which limits the device bandwidth to that
of the PCI bus. X Series devices also are optimized for low-latency I/O, for
high performance in control and single-point applications. X Series devices incorporate new NI-STC3 timing and
synchronization technology, which provides four flexible, 32-bit counters and a
100 MHz timebase for all analog and digital timing, which is a 5x improvement
over previous devices. This timing technology lets engineers
perform advanced triggering and synchronization that would have previously
taken advanced code or several DAQ devices to implement. Simultaneous X Series
devices integrate up to 16 analog-to-digital convertors on a single device at 2
MS/s per channel, which allows engineers to sample all AI channels at a high
rate in applications such as ultrasonic test and measurement.
With LEDs dropping in price virtually every year, automakers have begun employing them, not only on luxury vehicles, but on entry-level models, as well.
The 3D printing revolution seems to have a knack for quickly moving technology ahead by way of collaborative effort and even a little friendly competition -- all of course in the name of scientific advancement.
Advantech has launched a new series of motion-control I/O modules to meet the increased demands that come with more distributed industrial systems that require control of a growing number of axes and devices.
Using almost 200 light-emitting diodes in the front and back of the new 2014 CTS, Cadillac designers are showing how LEDs can change the character of a vehicle.

A quick look into the merger of two powerhouse 3D printing OEMs and the new leader in rapid prototyping solutions, Stratasys. The industrial revolution is now led by 3D printing and engineers are given the opportunity to fully maximize their design capabilities, reduce their time-to-market and functionally test prototypes cheaper, faster and easier. Bruce Bradshaw, Director of Marketing in North America, will explore the large product offering and variety of materials that will help CAD designers articulate their product design with actual, physical prototypes. This broadcast will dive deep into technical information including application specific stories from real world customers and their experiences with 3D printing. 3D Printing is
