PDFOverview
National Instruments offers engineers and scientists several off-the-shelf hardware platforms for data acquisition, signal processing, embedded monitoring, measurement, and control applications. NI Multisim software features more than 90 predefined connector symbols and footprints to develop custom applications for NI hardware systems. Using NI tools for accessory design can save you days of development and reduce prototype iterations instantly.
Creating connector symbols and footprints is time-consuming, and even the smallest mistake on pin spacing, definition, or overall sizing results in errors and prototype iterations. For instance, an engineer could spend up to two days creating and testing the RIO Mezzanine Card (RMC) connector, a high-density 240-pin SEARAY connector used in some NI Single-Board RIO systems.
The new components include connectors for the following NI devices:
- NI Data Acquisition: E Series, M Series, R Series, S Series, and X Series
- NI SCXI
- NI myDAQ
- NI CompactRIO
- NI Single-Board RIO
