Automated Test Reference Systems

The key to minimizing the cost of your test systems is to design for longevity. To do this, you must base your system on modular, industry-standard PCs, like PXI, and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software designed for automated test. With this foundation, you gain the assurance of ongoing technology support and the flexibility to customize your instrumentation as your needs change.

National Instruments supplies this framework through its virtual instrumentation platform shown below. Select components of the graphic to learn more about these virtual instrumentation technologies. Or, view reference test systems that employ virtual instrumentation now.

Featured Automated Test Applications

RF Test

Reduce your cost of wireless device test with RF instruments for PXI. This software-defined RF test platform harnesses the speed of industry-standard PC technologies, such as multicore processors and PCI Express, to perform automated RF measurements up to 10X faster than traditional instruments and, because it is software-defined, you can test multiple standards with the same set of instrumentation.
