Benefits of PXI Express for Next-Generation Testing

June 20, 2007, 2:00 pm
Learn the capabilities, benefits, and features of PXI Express as a platform for next- generation test systems and instrumentation during this FREE NASA Tech Briefs webinar sponsored by Geotest-Marvin Test Systems, Inc. Based on PCI Express and CompactPCI technology, PXI Express offers significant performance and bandwidth improvements when compared to current PXI systems, while preserving compatibility with over 1,200 existing PXI products. This flexibility means that PXI Express products will provide engineers with the bandwidth and performance required by tomorrow’s applications, while maintaining compatibility and interoperability with today’s PXI products and applications.

Virtual Testing at the CAD Stage with Simulation Software

June 27, 2007, 2:00 pm
In order to successfully compete in the global marketplace, your product design process needs to be the best in its class, delivering innovative products of the highest quality, at the lowest cost, with the shortest possible design cycle time. Sponsored by Noran Engineering, Inc., NASA Tech Briefs presents a FREE webinar that examines how progressive engineering departments are accomplishing this by using analysis software at the CAD
design stage to virtually test parts and validate structural, thermal, and dynamic performance before they make the first article.
