What Is NI InstrumentStudio?

InstrumentStudio uses interactive panels to configure and visualize measurements on your instruments. InstrumentStudio integrates multiple panels into each tab in the interface to make it easier to work with multiple instruments at a time.

• Instrument-specific panels—Each panel exposes settings that are relevant to the active instrument, like oscilloscope triggering and cursors.
• Logical panel arrangements—The InstrumentStudio environment allows larger panels to be arranged side by side for simultaneous visualization, or consolidated into tabs, similar to a web browser.
• One-click data export—The Capture Data button on larger panels exports signals and measurements to either TDMS or CSV file formats, along with appropriate metadata like instrument configuration.

InstrumentStudio can export the hardware configuration represented by an instrument panel to a file that can be used in a variety of programming languages for automation.

• Iterative configuration—Engineers iteratively tune instruments to their needs without needing to worry about programming.
• Serialization—The exact configuration for the instrument is captured in a file that preserves the settings engineers have validated.
• Configuration import—Engineers pick up where they left off by importing configuration files in source code, rather than resetting settings using driver APIs.
