A week-long faculty development programme “Hands on LabVIEW and its application in engineering” was held at KITS college here.
It was jointly organised by the departments of Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) and Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering (EIE), of the Kakatiya Institute of Technology & Science, Warangal (KITSW), institute director Y. Manohar said.
The faculty development programme was taken up in association with IEEE and KITS from May 5 to 9, at ECE Engineering lab. It was inaugurated by Senior Applications Engineer of National Instruments (NI) Solutions, Bangalore, V. Vasantha Kumar.
Virtual environment
The programme covered LabVIEW (Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench) from NI, a development environment designed specifically to accelerate the productivity of engineers and scientists.
The LabVIEW is commonly used for data acquisition, instrument control, and industrial automation on a variety of platforms. With a graphical programming syntax that makes it simple to visualize, create, and code engineering systems, deploy, and test the Internet of Things, Mr. Manohar said.
Compatible
Benefits of LabVIEW are interfacing to devices, Code compilation, large libraries, Parallel programming. In addition, it includes a text-based programming component called Math Script which can be integrated with graphical programming and uses a syntax that is generally compatible with MATLAB, he added.
The faculty development programme aimed at equipping teachers with new concepts and empower them, KITSW director said. K. Ashoka Reddy delivered a lecture on Medical Signal Processing with latest technologies.
