Who is National Instruments? Culture & Philosophy 3 Decades of Products A closer look at current Products The Next Decade

NI’s Culture & Philosophy The 100 year plan 7 years Top 100 Places to work Cubicles for everyone Involved with the Community Leverage Standards Who are our Customers? Who are our Competitors?

History – First Decade ( ) 1976 – Jim Truchard’s Garage GPIB for PDP-11 was first $1M in Revenue 1985 IBM Quality Award 2 of 3 founders are still active –“Dr T” - President / CEO –Jeff Kodosky – Father of LabVIEW

History – Second Decade ( ) LabVIEW 1.0 premiers in 1986 on a Mac LabWindows 1.0 premiers in 1987 on DOS NI starts making measurement H/W – DAQ in 1987 Early 90’s – VXI takes off Launched and went Public (NATI) in 1995 LabWindows/CVI available of MS Win LabVIEW available on Mac, MS Win & Solaris

History – Third Decade (1996-now) Entered Motion Control and Machine Vision markets PXI is born in 1997 LabVIEW Real-time launches in 1999 Measurement Studio launches in 2000 Hungarian Plant opens in 2002 Big Year in 2003 –LabVIEW for FPGA, PDA, DSP –Acquisition of MatrixX –Released many modular instruments for PXI Acquisition of Electronics Workbench LabVIEW turned 20 & CVI turned 19 in 2006

Instrument Control GPIB VXI & VME PXI LAN – IEEE-1588 USB Unified with VISA

Data Acquisition XT => AT => PCI => PCIe Lower Cost –USB $159 –PCI $359 Lots of USB Isolated MIO Industrial Voltages Compact DAQ

Other Software Development Environments –CVI –Measurement Studio Special Purpose –TestStand –Diadem –Signal Express

PXI Instruments RF VSA and VSG – 2.7 GHz 7 ½ DMM 24 Bit Dynamic Signal Analyzers Programmable Power Supply – Source Measurement Flex II Digitizer MSa/s 2 GSa/s Digitizer Switching up to 26 GHz Lots of 3 rd party stuff: Boundary Scan, 1553, ARINC, Etc

Modular Instrument Solutions Zigbee WPAN compliance test Portable RF Antenna Testing System Characterize A/D with LVDS RF Record and Playback System High Digitizers used in Production Test System for Xbox 360 Controllers Generating Noise and Interference for DSL Design Validation and Test Boeing Measures Reduced Aircraft Noise Emissions

Industrial Automation PAC – Programmable Automation Controller –Combination of a PLC and PC Communicate with PLCs –Modbus Serial and IP –OPC DSC for (Data logging and Supervisory Control) CAN, DeviceNET, Foundation FieldBus, Profibus

LabVIEW Real Time –Targets Field Point Compact RIO PXI Compact Vision System –Interesting Deployments DARPA Grand Challenge Flight Simulation Model Development Remote-Controlled CASE CX-160 Excavator Falling Objects Sensing System

LabVIEW FPGA –Targets Compact RIO RIO PCI-DAQ IF-RIO –Interesting Deployments Laser Photocoagulation ECU for Motorcycle Two Wheeled Balancing Transport Platform Sea Bed Dredging Steel Rolling Application

Future – The Next Decade Graphical System Design More Modular Instruments leveraging PCIexpress LabVIEW Embedded / DSP DesignPrototypeDeploy
