What happens when you get National Instruments, Intel, Xilinx, Texas Instruments and other leading tech companies to put on a show in Austin, Texas? NIWeek of course. Over 3,300 engineers and scientists decent on Austin for a week of learning and fun.

From life sized “Angry Eagles” to a full spacecraft to tornado chasers, NIWeek is full of innovative products that will shape the world of tomorrow. From automated test to rocket science to the renewable energy, what is being discussed and learned at this event is interesting to all.

Today started with a keynote overing some new products including a new Single-Board RIO, multicore CompactRIO, Wireless DAQ and more. Some of the coolest demos showed how NI hardware can be used in a transmission dyno and a smart grid setup. Today NI also demoed the first off the shelf LTE Advanced (like LTE but faster, say 1 gigabit per second) system. Day two will be even more exciting!
