Consumer Electronics

Consumers expect products that have better quality, more flexibility, and new features at a lower price. For example, high-definition video is now being captured by camcorders instead of high-end movie cameras and users can upload and stream YouTube clips or download apps to their smartphone. To keep up with today's consumer electronics needs, design and test engineers need flexible, high-performance test systems. National Instruments offers a software-based measurement strategy, using modular instruments that make it easy to quickly adapt to the latest audio, video, and wireless requirements. The result is an integrated test platform that can keep pace with new innovations.
