The NI LabVIEW 8 DSC Module directly adds logging, alarming, scaling, and initial value functionality to the new LabVIEW shared variable. National Instruments LabVIEW 8 delivers distributed intelligence as a unified communication and management platform for the rapid development of distributed applications. The NI LabVIEW 8 Datalogging and Supervisory Control (DSC) Module specifically addresses the unique requirements of developing distributed industrial measurement and control applications and high-channel-count monitoring applications.

At AUTOTESTCON 2013 RADX Technologies, Inc., introduced the RADX LibertyGT™ family of commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) Software Defined Synthetic Instrument (SDSI) solutions. LibertyGT solutions combine RADX COTS Realtime Measurement Science Software and Firmware modules with pre-configured NI PXI systems and NI LabVIEW system design software. This combination is ideal for system integrator and volume end-user application development.

Cal-Bay Systems is a leader in comprehensive, automated test and measurement processes based on NI technology platforms. Recently, we have teamed with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to provide test, validation, and measurement equipment for the US Department of Energy’s new Facility for Low Energy Experiments in Buildings, or FLEXLAB. The facility will provide researchers, manufacturers, developers, architects, engineers, contractors, and utilities the tools to accurately field-test innovations in green building technologies and controls.

The new NI cRIO-9068 software-designed controller is part of the most advanced and open system design platform for embedded control and monitoring systems.

National Instruments announced NI LabVIEW software- and NI hardware-compatible mobile apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, helping engineers integrate the latest mobile technology into their applications. By combining the portability, ease of use, faster start-up time and longer battery longevity of mobile devices with the power of LabVIEW, engineers can more productively access measurement data from data acquisition and embedded monitoring systems.

Join National Instruments and more than 3,200 engineers, educators, industry leaders, scientists, and students from around the world for NIWeek 2013, the 19th annual global conference on graphical system design.

National Instruments announced its newest general-purpose programmable power supplies, which offer the highest power density available in PXI and form the foundation of automated test systems.

National Instruments announced Chameleon for NI CompactDAQ, a software package developed by NI Gold Alliance Partner PVI Systemsand available on the LabVIEW Tools Network, to create turnkey systems for NI data acquisition hardware that are simple and intuitive to set up and operate. These scalable systems can span to a large number of channels, yet still be managed within a configuration-based environment without programming.

National Instruments announced Measurement Studio 2013, the only .NET software suite that provides all the tools needed to build a professional, end-to-end test or measurement system in Microsoft Visual Studio. Measurement Studio 2013, which integrates into Visual Studio 2012, 2010 and 2008, is the only software on the market that addresses the specific needs of the test, measurement and automation industries.

Four new PXI and PXI Express programmable resistor modules extend the NI hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform to meet custom requirements in a variety of HIL testing applications for embedded software validation. Included example programs and reference VIs help engineers easily create custom NI LabVIEW applications and NI VeriStand plug-ins to meet their requirements.
