Top New Features

High-Speed DAQ and Flexible Data Logging

Waveform DAQ From NI-DAQmx Devices

Acquire and log data at much higher speeds than ever before with data waveforms. You can visualize waveform data in the Workspace and log it to file for analysis to ensure that your system responds properly.

Waveform API for NI VeriStand Plug-Ins

Access high-speed data streams from NI LabVIEW software or create plug-ins for the custom acquisition and processing of waveforms inside NI VeriStand.

Customized Logging With Pretriggered Sampling

With the NI VeriStand Stimulus Profile Editor, you can create triggers based on multiple trigger conditions and acquire pretriggered samples for precise control over which data gets logged. You can also segment data logs based on size or time so that relevant data is easy to find.

Expanded and Improved Hardware Integration

Native SC Express Support for Conditioned Measurements

NI SC Express modules are now supported out of the box in NI VeriStand 2012, so you can acquire highly accurate temperature, strain, or bridge measurement data quickly and easily.

Additional Measurement Types From Multifunction DAQ Modules

NI VeriStand expands multifunction DAQ tasks by adding new high-speed digital PWM signals including variable frequency and duty cycle.

Streamlined Hardware Configuration and Automatic Hardware Discovery

Getting started with I/O is fast and easy with NI VeriStand 2012. You can use the hardware discovery utility to find hardware in your system and add it to your project. Channel configuration tools help you define I/O limits and convert incoming signals into usable data.

Configurable Scales and Improved Run-Time Calibration

Configure Scales in the System Explorer or NI Measurement & Automation Explorer

Create scales that include polynomial scales, lookup tables, and thermocouple scales and apply them to multiple channels in the system. Scales can be configured in the NI VeriStand System Explorer or they can be imported from Measurement & Automation Explorer.

Improved Hardware Calibration

Perform sensor calibration with a new calibration tool and apply calibrations from files in the NI VeriStand project so you can reuse scales across multiple projects as well as reuse hardware across multiple test setups without needing to recalibrate your system for the new setup.
