A Unified Platform from Design to Deployment
Designing and testing increasingly complex products to meet tight time-to-market demands requires a highly efficient, tightly integrated platform. The NI graphical system design platform for test, control, and embedded design spans the entire product design cycle, dramatically increasing efficiency and improving the bottom line.
Engineers, scientists, and physicists around the world are working to solve various challenges in areas such as particle physics, fusion, and astronomy. From being able to graphically program embedded real-time systems based on multicore processors and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) to working with high-speed data acquisition systems requiring timing and synchronization, engineers, scientists, and physicists use NI commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software like NI LabVIEW and hardware to help them meet their control and instrumentation needs.
