Design
A successful embedded product starts with a rugged yet flexible system design, which requires powerful software tools and an intuitive design environment. Intuitive software is essential for speeding design iterations and providing the high level of abstraction you need to evaluate your entire system. Graphical system design delivers this high-level software combined with high-performance, modular hardware in a platform that is open, allowing for easy integration with other design tools and your existing intellectual property (IP). Design Phase Checklist:
Software DesignLabVIEWUse National Instruments LabVIEW graphical development platform for design, control, and test applications. LabVIEW Statechart ModuleThe National Instruments LabVIEW Statechart Module allows you to develop statechart diagrams, define behaviors with LabVIEW dataflow programming, and deploy statecharts to many computing targets including desktop PCs, real-time controllers, and FPGAs. Algorithm Engineering SoftwareLabVIEW Control Design and Simulation ToolsTake advantage of a flexible, interactive environment for dynamic systems modeling, controller design, and simulation with the LabVIEW System Identification Toolkit, LabVIEW Control Design Toolkit, and LabVIEW Simulation Module. LabVIEW Digital Filter Design ToolsDesign, analyze, and implement fixed- and floating-point digital filters within LabVIEW with the LabVIEW Digital Filter Design Toolkit. LabVIEW MathScriptAdd math-oriented, textual programming to LabVIEW with LabVIEW MathScript for algorithm development, signal processing, control design, analysis, and other technical computing tasks. Electrical Design SoftwareNI MultisimUse NI Multisim world-class tools for schematic capture, interactive circuit simulation with industry-standard SPICE, board layout with autorouting options, and integrated prototyping and test. LabVIEW FPGA ModuleCreate custom I/O measurement and control hardware without low-level hardware description languages or hardware board-level design with the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Data Acquisition for DesignNI CompactDAQUse real-world data during design by taking advantage of NI CompactDAQ USB connectivity to sensor and electrical measurements. |
