actual process control applications in the Portland area and discussed the
various operating systems for which NI's software is available.

applying National Instruments' products to solve industrial process control
problems.

Note:
This was an ORCNET evening technical presentation rather than a formal
business meeting, so although an attendance roster was maintained, "Meeting
Minutes" were neither required nor produced. This meeting summary has been
authored after-the-fact by Chair H. Joe Tabor, and Past Chair Pat Barrett,
to record what transpired and also satisfy the IEEE L-31 requirements.
