NI Automated Test Summit 2010

Join Simplicity AI at the National Instruments Automated Test Summit 2010 and learn more about top trends influencing the automated test industry. This FREE, full day event, features technical training, industry experts, product developers and system integrators. There will be demonstrations, case studies and hands-on sessions about the latest technologies for virtual and synthetic instrumentation featuring:

- Advances in Automated Test; efficiently designing complex, maintainable test systems across all application areas. Explore new techniques and technologies in RF and wireless, real-time and audio-visual test.

- Software-Defined Test; discover the benefits of a flexible, software-defined approach to automated test.

Topics will include:

- Real-Time and Hardware-in-the-Loop Test

- RF and Wireless Test

- The Role of FPGAs in Test

With a focus on software-defined solutions using PXI and FPGA, this conference provides an opportunity for industry-specific education and networking.

Our engineers will be available at stand 15 in the exhibition area throughout the day, to discuss our range of products and services for automated test.

Simplicity AI Invited to Present at NIDays 09

Simplicity AI have been invited by National Instruments to take part in one of the presentations for NIDays 09. NIDays is National Instruments's premier annual event and Simplicity AI will present part of the 'Optimising Automated Test Systems with Parallel Technologies' presentation in the Automated Test and Instrumentation track. Drawing on their industry experience of architecting and delivering high quality Test Systems and Software, Simplicity AI will show a case study of a highly parallel test architecture. Simplicity AI will also be exhibiting in the third floor exhibition area throughout the conference.

Second Simplicity AI Engineer Gains NI TestStand Architect Certification

Simplicity AI Systems Architect Jonathan Bowers recently attained the status of Certified TestStand Architect. The qualification demonstrates the high degree of knowledge and practical skills he holds on this National Instruments product and makes Jonathan the second person within the company to achieve this very in-depth skill level. The addition of another TestStand Architect reinforces Simplicity AI's commitment to delivering high quality test automation solutions that incorporate well structured software and now makes them the highest certified UK National Instruments Alliance Partner.

Simplicity AI Engineer Renews NI TestStand Architect Certification test

Simplicity AI Systems Architect Phil Rawlings recently re-attained the status of Certified TestStand Architect. Phil originally obtained CTA status in November 2005, being the only person outside the United States and only the fourth person worldwide to hold this qualification. Since the certification only lasts two years, maintaining this qualification demonstrates Phil's knowledge and understanding of TestStand through to the most recent versions. By obtaining this qualification, Simplicity AI has now become the only National Instruments Alliance Partner in the UK to have both TestStand and LabVIEW Architects on staff.

Join Simplicity AI at NIDays 09 on 17/11/09

NIDays is a FREE, one-day, multi-track event hosted by Simplicity AI's partner National Instruments featuring interactive technical sessions, hands-on workshops and case study presentations on the latest advancements in design, control, automation, manufacturing and test. Simplicity AI will be available in the 3rd floor exhibition area to discuss how they can assist scientists and engineers in their projects through a range of products and services that complement those offered by National Instruments.

Extended LabVIEW DAQ Hands-on 17/03/09 Farnborough

National Instruments and Alliance Partner Simplicity AI are collaborating to deliver an event has all the content from the standard LabVIEW DAQ Hands-on, while including additional sessions detailing real-world applications and best-practice development approaches

Developing Real-World DAQ Solutions
Learn how software has now become the heart of today's measurement and control systems. Real-world examples are presented from simple data acquisition through to high channel count, mixed signal systems. See how following a well-formed development process from requirements gathering through to commissioning can ensure robust, on-time, on-budget solutions.

Modular, Reusable DAQ Platforms
For applications as diverse as Automated Test, Product Validation or R and D, learn how software and hardware components can be integrated to provide modular, reusable and supportable platforms. Case-studies are presented detailing how these platforms can enable rapid development and be easily reconfigured to support multiple measurement applications.

Location and Registration
The event will be held at the conference suite attached to Simplicity AI's offices at The Hub, Farnborough, close to the airport. To register please contact Angie Cribb on 01635 572498 or email events.uk@ni.com

New Farnborough Office for Simplicity AI

Due to expansion Simplicity AI have announced the move to larger offices at The Hub, IQ Farnborough. The new aerospace themed facility next to Farnborough Airport provides a great working environment, where the company's engineers can develop high quality test, measurement and automation solutions for its customers. In addition the adjacent conference suites, 'secret factory' aerospace museum and cafe, provide an excellent venue for Simplicity AI to deliver technical seminars and customised training courses to its customers.
