Software defined automated test from the design bench to the validation lab to the production line

National Instruments is transforming the way in which engineers and scientists design, prototype and deploy systems for measurement, automation and embedded applications.

NI empowers customers in industry, government and academia with off the shelf software and modular cost effective hardware. Leveraging PCs and commercial technologies, virtual instrumentation increases productivity and lowers costs for test, control and design applications through easy to integrate software, such as NI LabVIEW, and modular measurement and control hardware for PXI, PCI, PCI Express, USB and Ethernet.

With virtual instrumentation, engineers use graphical programming software to create user defined solutions that meet their specific needs. Additionally, virtual instrumentation capitalises on the ever increasing performance of personal computers. For example, test engineers have used virtual instrumentation to downsize automated test equipment (ATE) whilst experiencing up to a 10 times increase in productivity at a fraction of the cost of traditional automated test solutions.
