Simulate an instrument using NI-DCPower or Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) to develop, modify, and/or test an application without hardware.
Using a simulated device to test an application eliminates the risk of hardware damage. Additionally, you can use a simulated instrument to evaluate an NI product for which you do not have hardware.
Tip As with any installed and
configured instrument, you can use InstrumentStudio to test the basic functionality of the
device.
