Material dogmatics versus functional requirements

Material dogmatics versus functional requirements

Functionality without any compromise is key to developing systems and components for data or energy transmission. Only an unbiased analysis focusing on the individual application parameters can deliver convincing results, otherwise you run the risk of not only excluding solutions for an application, but also failing to meet customer requirements.

NI launches higher-performance PXI embedded controllers

NI launches higher-performance PXI embedded controllers

National Instruments is introducing a family of PXI, PXI Express and PXI real-time embedded controllers based on the 2.16GHz dual-core Intel Core 2 Duo processor T7400. The NI PXI-8106 and NI PXIe-8106 controllers are claimed to deliver a performance improvement of more than 100 per cent compared to systems running traditional single-core processors. With two cores - or computing engines - in one processor, the new PXI and PXI Express controllers can simultaneously execute two computing tasks.

NI releases LabWindows/CVI 8.1 Real-Time Module

NI releases LabWindows/CVI 8.1 Real-Time Module

National Instruments is releasing the NI LabWindows/CVI 8.1 Real-Time Module, an extension to the proven ANSI C development environment that makes it easy for engineers to create and deploy reliable and deterministic applications to dedicated real-time hardware such as PXI and desktop PCs. LabWindows/CVI Real-Time takes advantage of network variables to simplify the process of transferring data between real-time and Windows applications. The software also introduces a new high-resolution timing engine for achieving more precise timing and determinism.

Multisim 10.0 and Ultiboard 10.0 help to save time

Multisim 10.0 and Ultiboard 10.0 help to save time

National Instruments Electronics Workbench Group is releasing Multisim 10.0 and Ultiboard 10.0, the latest versions of its interactive SPICE simulation and circuit analysis software used for schematic capture, interactive simulation, board layout and integrated testing. This platform extends the flexibility of virtual instrumentation to the electronics designer's benchtop, bridging the common gap between test and design functions. With the combination of National Instruments' Multisim 10.0 circuit simulation software and LabVIEW measurement software, engineers creating custom printed circuit boards (PCBs) can now easily compare simulated and real-world data, resulting in fewer design iterations, reduced prototyping errors and shorter time to market.
