Structural Test and Monitoring for Aerospace and Defense

"Lockheed Aeronautics Company engineers now can configure their PXI-based system 10 times as fast as when using their previous VME equipment while doubling their channel count. Also, the Portable Digital Data Acquisition System (PDDAS) reduces test cycle time from 2 sec to 50 ms all for less than it would have cost to upgrade only a portion of the VME-based test system."

Integrating NI’s graphical system design approach with its modular hardware and software platforms simplifies system development from research and development systems to deployed mission systems to operations and maintenance support systems. This integrated start-to-finish solution decreases program costs while producing reliable, precise results.

NI platforms range from small, portable USB systems to high-end measurement systems with more than 1,000 synchronized channels. NI signal processing inherently takes advantage of multicore PC technology, resulting in industry- leading test times.
