- Hi Everyone, My name’s……... Thank you all for coming, and welcome to the VI Workshop.
- The idea of this workshop is that it’s an opportunity for you to ask questions about the various VI software that’s out there. I also have a presentation detailing some of the more popular software &, for those more familiar with the field, some slides detailing updates to the latest versions of the software.
