Level Up Your Test Development with the NI LabVIEW+ Suite and NI SystemLink™ Software

The role of a test engineer is so much more than “just” code development. From test planning through process optimization, into report generation, and eventually system decommissioning, many tasks make up this complex role. The following tasks are important parts of a test engineer’s job but are usually time consuming and manual when using general-purpose tools such as spreadsheet software that are not best suited to the task.

Many engineering teams have succumbed to manual “process norms” that when added together bleed away the productivity of an engineering team by preventing them from having time for more creative and valuable tasks around measurement and product development. Rethink these everyday tasks and uplevel your productivity with the LabVIEW+ Suite of purpose-built software tools for test and measurement.

Manual Engineering Tasks That Leach Time and Productivity

Configure Test Setups and Move Into Automation

Configuring a test and measurement system for accurate characterization, validation, or production can be complex—especially when transitioning from interactive setups to full automation. Choosing the right tools for each development stage allows you to configure measurements quickly and automate your processes efficiently and earlier in your workflow, removing some of that complexity. Explore how to use the right tools within the LabVIEW+ Suite to automate many of the transitionary steps of porting configurations between software tools to minimize wasted time in rework. Get a clear roadmap for reducing setup time, improving your productivity, and unlocking faster insights.

After running your tests, capturing the data, and skimming a few plots, the real challenge is the need to collate and communicate the results so the rest of your organization understands them and can take action. Explore how leading validation and test teams eliminate the spreadsheet grind and accelerate their reporting capabilities to both find and share their test insights using purpose-built tools within the LabVIEW+ Suite. You’ll discover how to streamline analysis, ensure compliance, and free up engineering time for more valuable and innovative tasks.

Unplanned downtime on a deployed test system is an alarm call that no test engineer wants to hear. Even well-written test code can fail when your systems aren’t managed consistently, and many of these situations are avoidable with the right tools, like NI SystemLink software. A little time spent automating software revisions, asset calibration, and other aspects of system health can prevent rushed and urgent maintenance. Keep your systems reliable and ready with an automated remote system management strategy.
