Team 862 is planning on attending. Still working out who.

Are pre-rookie teams welcome to attend? If yes, how can we as a pre-rookie team get LabVIEW 8.5 since we do not have the 2008 KOP?

You can download (or request a CD) for a 30 day trial from here: http://www.ni.com/labview/try/daq.htm

Rookie teams are more than welcome!!

The instructor recommends that teams download the latest evaluation copy (or request the CD this week, to allow time for shipping) from www.ni.com/trylabview. The material covered will be good for any 8.x version of LabVIEW.

Also, NI is working on a general "FIRST" serial number that all teams can use for activation. This may be available at the training sessions in Novi.

Registration for this event will close Wednesday, Sept 24, in order to be sure we have all the necessary equipment to support all those computers (we're keeping the school electrician busy). A confirmation email will be sent out on Thursday.

We have seemed to have misplaced our Labview CD from last years KOP. Does anyone know where we can get a replacement or a key to unlock the evaluation copy?
