We have also given our website a major overhaul, with more information on our services, and are maintaining a What's New section to keep you up to date on the changing face of NVSI.

 Congratulations to our Newest Certified LabVIEW Developers




Laurent Raynal and Graeme Bowyer (Technical Specialists) passed accreditation with flying colours to join Christopher Relf (National Manager - Australia) and Liam Granger (Senior Technical Specialist) as our newest National Instruments Certified Developers.  Laurent's and Graeme's extremely strong performance in both the written and practical components of the assessment are a testament to their advanced theoretical & applied knowledge, and experience.

Earning a National Instruments Certification acknowledges our staff's expertise in working with NI products and technologies.  The measurement and automation industry, and NVSI in particular, recognise the National Instruments Certified Developer credential as a symbol of the skills and knowledge our staff have gained through experience and a true passion for evolving knowledge and solutions for our clients.

NVSI has an aggressive staff training programme, assisting all staff in gaining qualifications relevant to their career path.
 
   
 

 "Image Acquisition and Processing With LabVIEW" Book Released


 


Christopher Relf (National Manager - Australia) has released his book titled 'Image Acquisition and Processing with LabVIEW', to rave reviews from the international LabVIEW community.   The book combines the general theory of image acquisition and processing, the underpinnings of LabVIEW and the NI Vision toolkit, examples of their applications, and real-world case studies in a clear, systematic, and richly illustrated presentation.

A CD-ROM packaged with the book contains libraries of example images and all of the code referenced in the text, additional technical white papers, a demonstration version of LabVIEW, and an NI IMAQ demonstration that guides you through its features.
