Prototype Faster with Graphical System Design

Build Versus Buy for Embedded Design

When designing an embedded system, more often than not, choosing which tools to use comes down to whether to build a custom solution or buy off-the-shelf tools. Learn the trade-offs between a custom design and NI graphical system design off-the-shelf tools.

Contents Include:
  • Custom Embedded Design – The "Build" Approach
  • Off-The-Shelf Embedded System – The "Buy" Approach
  • Making the Decision – Understand the "Hidden" Costs
