The mioDAQ from NI has two 20-bit and two 16-bit flavors. Analog outputs come with two or four, with 16-bit DIO and counters. USB data-acquisition (DAQ) devices have been on the market for many years and come in many varieties. What makes the mioDAQ series from NI different is its 20-bit vertical resolution on two […]

NI president: “We are the LabVIEW company”
EE World met with Ritu Favre, who emphasized a return to the company’s product roots. National Instruments, now NI and a part of Emerson, has a long, dominant history in test and measurement. Best known for LabVIEW graphical programming and its supporting cast of software for instrument control and data analysis, NI was founded in […]
What specialist software is available for USB oscilloscopes? part 1
USB oscilloscopes capture analog and digital signals. Through software, engineers can analyze protocols and logic signals. By adding a D/A converter, a USB oscilloscope can also become a waveform generator. A USB oscilloscope consists of the signal capture and conditioning electronics package, a personal computer (PC) that can be a laptop or tablet unit, or […]
Emerson acquires NI: There goes another one
NI will now join the long list of T and M companies whose names we’ll see only online, on eBay, and at electronics flea markets. Product names such as LabVIEW should live on.
Radar target generation system cuts down on open-air range tests
The PXI Vector Signal Transceiver (VTS) Radar Target Generation (RTG) system unlocks closed-loop, low-latency, real-time radar test capabilities. The new PXI VST allows engineers to identify and isolate issues before costly open-air range tests, increasing user confidence in radar system performance with accurately calibrated radio frequency (RF) test capability. Today, radar test engineers must test […]

Consistent with the need to fast-track product development, DataStudio bridges critical data across the semiconductor design and test workflow. DataStudio Specification Compliance Manager (SCM), […]
Battery test system boosts safety, performance of electric vehicles
A new Battery Test System (BTS) for electric vehicle (EV) testing is designed to help tier-one suppliers and automakers adapt to the complexity and scale of EV battery testing through enhanced customization, automation, and connection of data across the entire battery test workflow to ensure performance and accelerate time to market. Batteries are at the…
Here’s a rundown on free layout/PCB software
There are dozens of free PCB-layout and schematic packages available on the Web. Often they are stripped-down versions of more complex packages available for licensing. Often, the process of upgrading from freeware to more sophisticated versions is pretty easy. If your circuit needs are generally confined to relatively straightforward two-layer boards, here are a few […]
PXI chassis sports two slots
NI’s first two-slot PXI chassis delivers a small, cost-effective package. Modular hardware like PXI enables a software-connected workflow to achieve better results. PXI hardware delivers openness, software options, modularity and I/O coverage for projects developing adaptive and scalable systems. PXI uses commercial PC-based PCI and PCI Express bus technology while combining rugged CompactPCI modular packaging, as […]
ADAS recording takes shape of storage-as-a-service offering
A new collaboration aims to enhance data storage and transfer services, including a first-of-its-kind advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) record offering. The new ADAS record offering combines National Instrument’s high-performance in-vehicle data logging systems with Seagate’s data transfer and edge storage services, enabling original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers to efficiently leverage data to ensure the […]
