Integrated Test and Control

The LabVIEW platform is ideal for developing test and control applications such as electromechanical test, environmental test, and fatigue testing. LabVIEW software flexibility combined with powerful, rugged NI real-time hardware and an extensive array of I/O helps you create applications that feature the high-accuracy measurements of advanced instrumentation with precise, deterministic control. By performing the test and control portions of an application with the same hardware and software, you can significantly reduce development time and cost.

The LabVIEW parallel dataflow programming model is optimized for programming control applications. Using LabVIEW add-ons such as the LabVIEW Real-Time and LabVIEW FPGA modules, you can ensure reliable, deterministic execution of your applications for precise control of mechanical structures, environmental chambers, motion control, and emergency shutdown procedures. By using real-time OSs and rugged hardware, you also gain the reliability you need for long, extended-duration test runs.
