Software Interface connects NI and JTAG testing tools.

TestStand test management software and PXI hardware from National Instruments now runs with JTAG Technologies' boundary-scan IEEE 1149.1 tools. This lets engineers build test system to examine functional aspects, inspect circuit connections, and perform in-system-programming of flash memory and PLDs. Boundary scan provides access to digital assemblies through scan paths rather than probes, for...

PXI Controllers work with LabVIEW(TM) software.

Models 8175 RT and 8176 RT PXI controllers have 866 MHz and 1.2 GHz processors, respectively, and are capable of executing control loops at speeds up to 40 kHz. Both controllers come with embedded LabVIEW run-time engine and 100 BaseTX Ethernet for open network connectivity. They include support for PXI plug-in modules such as data acquisition, signal conditioning, dynamic signal acquisition,...

Strain Gauge Module makes multiple measurements.

Model FP-SG-140 interfaces to transducers such as load cells and pressure sensors, as well as standard full, half, and quarter bridge strain gauges. It has 16-bit resolution, software configuration utility with pull-down menus, and 8 analog input channels with software-enabled comb filter. Users can set comb filter to reject frequencies above 15, 60, or 240 Hz. Applications include machine and...

I/O Module performs accurate high-voltage measurements.

Analog FieldPoint FP-AI-102, with software, allows users to directly measure high-voltage process signals without designing custom signal conditioning systems. 12-bit resolution, +/-120 V input range distributed I/O module works with all FieldPoint network modules and is designed for use in industrial environments, automotive testing for fuel cells, and high-voltage battery packs.

Software

Development Kit helps create IEEE 488.2 instruments.

NI-Device Driver Development Kit (DDK) allows users to write bus-independent firmware for their instruments. It works with GPIB-based instruments and includes support for additonal GPIB hardware interfaces and devices with or without operating system. DDK handles most IEEE 488.2 requirements, including Message Exchange Protocol. Comprehensive C++ source code package contains core functionality...

Software generates analyses and reports.

Enhancements to DIAdem 8.0 include improved connectivity to industry-standard file formats including LabVIEW, more report-generation functions, and automatic creation of standard reports and charts. It imports up to 2 Gbyte of ASCII, Excel and other data files. User can import files and analyze them using built-in technical and mathematical tools, such as signal analysis, statistics, and...

Multimedia Training Course is offered on CD.

LabVIEW 6i Multimedia Training Course introduces engineers to LabVIEW fundamentals with step-by-step instructions for hands-on exercises. Interactive user interface combines animated illustrations, audio and text to teach engineers to create, edit and debug applications; display data in graphs and charts; use analog and digital I/0; control external instruments using GPIB and serial...
