Featured Application Areas
Military, Defense, and Aerospace Test
NI TestStand is used in a wide variety of complex mil/aero systems composed of hundreds of subsystems that are often built by multiple contractors. The ability to interface with industry standard technologies like ATML, IVI, PXI, ATLAS, requirements management tools, and others coupled with its legacy support and proven stability allow companies to standardize on NI TestStand for extremely long product life cycles.
Consumer Electronics Manufacturing Test
Shortening product life cycles and the increasing complexity of today’s and tomorrow’s consumer electronics devices poses an ever-increasing challenge to electronics manufacturers. NI TestStand provides a ready-to-use solution that allows easy code reuse between products and the ability to interface with the latest technologies. In addition, its advanced parallel testing capabilities allow companies to maximize their manufacturing throughput.
Automotive Test
Automotive companies rely on NI TestStand to reduce test development time by providing out-of-the-box functionality and integration with automotive communication standards like CAN for testing powertrain and electronic control units (ECUs) to the consumer electronics components in vehicles.
Medical Devices Test
Providing accelerated test development and consistent testing, NI TestStand has been used to automate the testing of life critical medical devices all the way from design validation to production testing.
Design Verification and Validation Test
With rapid prototyping, product designs get increasingly complex and older traditional methods of validation testing are no longer efficient. NI TestStand offers an easy-to-use automation environment to develop reusable tests that can be used across designs while providing an unprecedented level of consistency.
Semiconductor Characterization
Semiconductor chip designs are constantly increasing in complexity, which requires more advanced test systems to characterize performance. To reduce the overall cost of chip test, many leading semiconductor companies have adopted NI TestStand and a software-defined approach for characterizing chips that range from analog-to-digital-converters (ADCs) to power management ICs (PMICs).
