NI measurement devices power lab
Cardiff University's School of Engineering has refitted its electronics laboratory with a range of measurement and instrument control platforms from National Instruments.
The upgrade resulted in the university able to offer students a range of measurement platforms with NI USB M series data acquisition devices available at all 25 test stations.
Joe Woodford, NI Area Sales Manager for the region, said, "We are delighted to have been invited to participate in this lab refit along with other industry leading instrument vendors. One of our core strategic goals is to improve engineering education and we believe it is vital for universities to offer their students the opportunity to work with industry standard products and platforms".
Steve Watts, lecturer in electrical and electronic engineering, and who manages the laboratory, added, "Hands on experience with these measurement and instrument control platforms can only improve the way our students learn by reinforcing theoretical concepts, as well as developing the practical skills with industry standard instrumentation that are in much demand from electronic engineering graduates."
