Software provides DSP system design and test.
Press Release Summary:
LabVIEW graphical measurement software, working together with Texas Instrument's Code Composer Studio(TM) development tools, can cut development time for DSP systems. Engineers can use LabVIEW during design modeling phase to create tests that identify design flaws before prototype construction. DSP customers can improve, debug, and rework designs, ultimately speeding product development time.

National Instruments Expands Role of LabVIEW for DSP System Design and Test
Leading Measurement Software to Integrate with Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio
HOUSTON, Texas - Aug. 6, 2002 - National Instruments (Nasdaq: NATI) announced today at the Texas Instruments (TI) Developer Conference that it will integrate its LabVIEW graphical measurement software with TI Code Composer Studio(TM) development tools. Working together, these two industry-leading software packages significantly cut development time for TI-based DSP systems.
"With the integration of LabVTEW and Code Composer Studio, TI customers can soon take full advantage of the benefits of virtual instrumentation," said John Schanzenbach, TI Software Development Tools Platform Manager. "Using LabVIEW intuitive graphical programming and seamless integration with measurement I/O, TI DSP customers can verify their product designs much earlier in the design process."
LabVIEW integration with Code Composer Studio solves the traditional complexity of developing tests for DSP systems, which typically delays design validation until after product prototypes are built. Engineers can use LabVIEW during the design modeling phase to create tests that identify design flaws
before prototype construction. This vastly reduces the time it takes to ship robust products to market, which is vital for designers of digital media players, wireless LAN systems, optical networking systems, motor controls, household appliances, and other products that incorporate DSP chips.
By integrating measurements earlier in the design flow, LabVIEW becomes an even more powerful and useful design tool for measurement and validation, said John Graff, NI Vice President of Marketing. "Design engineers have long used LabVIEW to create powerful virtual instruments that perform a wide range of measurement and automation tasks throughout the design process," said Graff. "With the integration of LabVIEW and Code Composer Studio, TI DSP customers will more easily improve, debug, and rework designs, ultimately speeding product development time."
