Simulation Software configures real-time testing applications.September 3, 2010 -
Supporting hardware-in-the-loop and real-time testing, NI VeriStand 2010 can configure stimulus generation, data logging, calculated channels, and event alarming. Software offers native support for reflective memory interfaces to deterministically share data between real-time PXI systems. Optimizations of real-time engine make it possible to run NI VeriStand 2010 on CompactRIO or NI Single-Board RIO systems for rugged applications such as desktop simulators and test cell applications.

NI VeriStand 2010 Scales from High-Performance Multichassis Systems to Low-Cost, Ruggedized Applications
NI VeriStand 2010 Offers Customizable Software and Ease of Use for Increased Reuse, Reduced Time to Market
AUSTIN, Texas, -- National Instruments (NASDAQ:NATI) today announced NI VeriStand 2010, which includes enhancements that expand its capabilities for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) and real-time testing by supporting high-performance, multiple chassis PXI systems and low-cost, ruggedized options using NI CompactRIO and NI Single-Board RIO hardware deployments. NI VeriStand 2010 also features enhanced connectivity with NI LabVIEW, making it easier for engineers to reuse existing software and further customize their NI VeriStand applications.
"We selected NI VeriStand for our Legacy 500 Iron Bird because of the breadth of functionality the environment provides out of the box, which significantly reduces our development efforts," said M. A. Pires, testing device development coordinator for Embraer.
NI VeriStand 2010 adds native support for reflective memory interfaces to deterministically share data between real-time PXI systems for high-performance applications such as iron bird aircraft simulators and electronic systems integration test systems. More specifically, it can automatically create the reflective memory routings between PXI systems, reducing the potential for development errors and helping engineers quickly get their applications up and running. NI VeriStand 2010 also provides system-level abstraction and user interface capabilities to make configuring such systems more efficient.
"While NI VeriStand provides many of the features necessary for our application, the ability to add functionality using LabVIEW and other software environments helps us customize our simulator to exactly meet our future application needs," said Guilherme Seelander, software integration senior engineer for Embraer.
Additionally, optimizations of the real-time engine have increased execution performance, making it possible to run NI VeriStand 2010 applications on most CompactRIO or NI Single-Board RIO systems for low-cost or rugged applications such as desktop simulators and test cell applications. The wide range of conditioned I/O interfaces for CompactRIO combined with the flexibility of the NI VeriStand development environment offers commercial off-the-shelf solutions for these applications with the ability to quickly adapt to custom interface needs.

About NI VeriStand
NI VeriStand 2010 is a ready-to-use software environment for configuring real-time testing applications including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) tests. Engineers can use NI VeriStand out of the box to configure stimulus generation, data logging, calculated channels and event alarming. It can import control algorithm and simulation models from a variety of modeling environments including the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment and The MathWorks SimulinkŪ software environment. Engineers can use NI VeriStand to monitor and interact with these tasks using a run-time editable user interface. While no programming knowledge is required to use NI VeriStand, engineers can customize and extend the software using a variety of software environments including LabVIEW, NI TestStand, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, ANSI C/C++ and Python.
