New release for NI VeriStand configuration-based software

Mike Santori, NI Business and Technology Fellow, says: "This release of NI VeriStand is the next step in our investment to provide a real-time testing platform that reduces risk and cost across a spectrum of applications ranging from embedded software validation to mechanical test systems. As the importance of software continues to grow in today's products and systems, we continue to add new features to NI VeriStand to help engineers meet strict time-to-market requirements despite increasing test challenges."

NI VeriStand adds new features for efficiently configuring and running real-time testing applications including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators and test cell control and monitoring systems.

With the new version of NI VeriStand, engineers can acquire and analyse data at much higher speeds; use new tools to scale, calibrate and condition measurements to ensure accuracy and improve test quality; and get up and running out of the box by adding utilities for hardware auto-discovery and data channel configuration.

Product features:

• Real-time model execution from a variety of modelling environments
• Open, extensible architecture to create custom code modules or incorporate custom user interfaces
• Built-in test automation using the Stimulus Profile Editor
• Integration with NI hardware I/O library, including FPGAs, embedded networks, machine vision, RF and a range of multifunction data acquisition modules including instrument-grade I/O
