Ever since Studica started offering National Instruments’LabVIEW software, there has been one error that seems fairly common but has a very simple fix. When a user runs a lab, they will be presented with an error window that says something along the lines of “Error – 200220 occurred at DAQmx Create Channel (AI-Voltage-Basic).vi:2. Underneath this error, there’s a section that … Read More

Often in the classroom realism is difficult to obtain when explaining and experimenting with real world systems, processes, and naturally occurring forces. Simulation has come a long way in providing our students with the realism that is required when learning through software simulations such as Finite Element Analysis and Digital Prototyping but physical attributes of engineered systems are sometimes more … Read More
