There are hints of color in the trees and we’ve had our first real heavy rains here in Washington after a hot and dry summer. \u00a0Our interns are back to school (we’ll miss them!) but many of them will be working on projects<\/a> throughout the year, making great contributions and earning some beer money along the way.<\/p>\n

We had a great summer of events, kicked off by the ASEE meeting in Seattle and then followed by the Xilinx OpenHW event in China and NI Week in Austin.<\/p>\n

We’ve also launched several new products including the Genesys2<\/a>\u00a0(Kintex-based board with a Gig of DDR, FMC connector, and lots of other features), new LabVIEW Home bundles<\/a>, new Pmods<\/a>, and more. Probably the most exciting development is the Analog Discovery 2.<\/p>\n

Introducing the Analog Discovery 2! Watch for it to be released a little later in 2015.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I hinted at this in my last blog post<\/a> and it’s finally here: an updated version of our extremely popular Analog Discovery with more bandwidth, more power, and a new multi-platform version of Waveforms – all in a slick new transparent enclosure (see above).<\/p>\n

Analog Discovery 2 NI Edition.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We are making a special edition<\/a> of this product for our parent company,National Instruments, which they highlighted at the NI Week Academic Forum. You can see a preview of this new product in NI’s Academic Keynote video<\/a> (skip to about minute 52 if you’re in a hurry!). As always, we have many other new products in the pipeline but I’ll save those for a future blog post. \u00a0Cheers and have a great semester.<\/p>\n
