Modules condition a range of sensor signals
National Instruments has released new Signal Conditioning Component modules for frequency to voltage conversion, integrated circuit piezoelectric accelerometers and RTDs.
This ensures that students enjoy a practical, state-of-the-art engineering experience, which will prove beneficial throughout their careers.
All levels of students, from first year undergraduates learning about basic electronics, to electronics masters students (MSc), will use the laboratory.
"Electronics design and instrumentation continues to be a major focus at Staffordshire University", said Dr Frank Dudek, Senior Lecturer.
"We are proud to work with National Instruments, a market leader in virtual instrumentation, to give our students training with leading edge equipment and facilities".
NI and Staffordshire University are collaborating to provide hardware, training, and support for the lab.
The university already uses NI LabView software and has now chosen to incorporate two superior quality data acquisition cards, the NI PCI-5911 which is a flexible, high-speed, high-resolution digitiser that has variable speed and resolution, and the NI PCI-5401, high-speed function generator card.
The National Instruments Electronic Design Centre is in line with National Instruments commitment to working with academia to encourage the engineers of tomorrow.
"I am delighted to be working closely with Staffordshire University to improve the technology that students are able to access", said Katherine Robinson, NI Academic Programme Manager.
"The National Instruments Electronic Design Centre will enhance students' experience and knowledge throughout their degree course and help to prepare them for their professional careers". Request free introductory details about products from National Instruments ...
