Course Teaches Engineers How to Optimize Instrument Control

August 22nd, 2006

Keithley’s two-day course, “Optimizing Remote Control of Instruments in a LabVIEW Environment,” will teach attendees how to assemble and configure instruments from a variety of vendors into an efficient test setup and control all of them from a single software interface. They will also learn how to avoid costly delays by learning how to recognize common test system data communication issues and to steer clear of measurement errors by learning how to coordinate the operation of multiple instruments. The course consists predominantly of practical exercises in a lab setting, plus short lectures on a variety of related topics; ample time will be allowed for instructor/student discussions.

Course contents include ways to increase productivity by optimizing instrument and software drivers for specific test needs, as well as use of LabVIEW test software to integrate instruments with different types of data communication networks. The course is designed for scientists, researchers, product engineers, design engineers, and technicians working in a lab setting who need to do fast prototyping of benchtop test systems using instruments from multiple companies. (This course is not intended for those doing production testing.)

Time/Location/Fee. The course will be held September 14 and 15, from 9:00am to 5:00pm (3:00pm on the second day) at Keithley’s corporate headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio. The fee for each attendee is $990.
