Automated Test – National Instruments Alliance - NI Community & Industry Involvement
The NI Alliance Program grows and succeeds only when program members look beyond corporate walls and contribute to the larger community. Tecnova participates in a variety of NI-specific and industry forums, training sessions, and competitions. Individual team members are encouraged to attend and present at regional seminars, trade shows, and NIWeek.

Several team members also assist with the Northern Illinois LabVIEW User Group and at a personal level with educational events. These efforts are aimed at increasing awareness and interest of engineering as a career path, the test and measurement industry, and having fun while solving complex problems with National Instruments and LabVIEW.
