Efficiency in electronics development is a decisive factor for companies in order to survive in global competition. With software tools for the automation of test processes, development-related test processes can be accelerated and product quality optimized. Such tools include professional software applications that support, for example, measurement data acquisition, data analysis, device configuration or the creation of test sequences. As a rule, the use of such tools is worthwhile as soon as a measurement is to be carried out several times and a measuring device is to be connected to a PC.
LabVIEW+ is a bundle of various individual software applications from NI, including TestStand, DIAdem, FlexLogger, InstrumentStudio and LabVIEW. These are professional measurement and analysis tools that can be used to create automated test systems. The improved workflow shortens the development time.
Each software component has special functions to accelerate and standardize various test sequences: TestStand can be used to create test sequences for automated production or validation tests. DIAdem is a data management software for the evaluation, visualization and documentation of measured values. FlexLogger is a no-code software for data acquisition and InstrumentStudio makes it possible to work with several devices simultaneously; both together simplify the device configuration and the setup for the measurements. LabVIEW is a graphical programming environment for the development of automated test systems with a connection to each measuring device.
The LabVIEW+ Suite is used across all industries for the manufacturer-independent integration of measuring devices. Engineers can use it to analyze large amounts of data, create protocols and develop automated test sequences for validation and production tests that can be controlled and monitored from anywhere in the world. The bundle is generally worthwhile for users who want to use at least one other NI software in addition to LabVIEW Professional. For simple measurement data acquisition, however, individual applications such as FlexLogger or LabVIEW are sufficient.
Complex test tasks in development, validation and production are supported by innovative measurement technologies. Special software applications can optimize the workflow by automating measurement and analysis tasks. The advantage: automated test processes are consistent and precise. Automation increases efficiency, reduces errors and accelerates product development. The LabVIEW+ Suite software bundle helps electronics developers and test engineers to streamline their work steps and accelerate and standardize the entire test process with tools such as TestStand or DIAdem.
