High-precision audio and vibration measurements
For the first time on the PXI platform, engineers can make precision audio and vibration measurements with the National Instruments NI4472.
Modules condition a range of sensor signals
National Instruments has released new Signal Conditioning Component modules for frequency to voltage conversion, integrated circuit piezoelectric accelerometers and RTDs.
For the first time, engineers can take advantage of the unique ability to synchronise CAN, DAQ and motion measurements across a real-time platform.
Because the new software is specifically designed to work with LabVIEW Real-Time, engineers get all the benefits of a real-time environment, such as deterministic, closed-loop performance and increased reliability, without learning the complex details of a real-time operating system.
This increases productivity and saves valuable development time.
With the new version of NI-CAN driver software, engineers can build embedded applications in LabVIEW and easily download them into LabVIEW Real-Time without any modification.
With this scalability, engineers gain increased reliability while running their applications without rewriting existing code.
Applications created with CAN hardware, NI-CAN 1.5, and LabVIEW Real-Time, are ideal for automotive testing and diagnostics, factory automation and machine control.
With NI-CAN, for example, engineers can easily create applications to test CAN-based devices for the transmission system in an automobile with the deterministic control of LabVIEW Real-Time. Request a free brochure from National Instruments ...
