NI CEO: COVID-19 on day one
NI CEO Eric Starkloff’s first decision was what to do about COVID-19 the night before he took over on February 1, 2020. Since then, he’s seen the opportunities in communications resulting from the pandemic. How would you like to take on a new leadership role just as a pandemic takes hold? That’s what Eric Starkloff […]
Data streaming/visualization platform works with logging, 6.5-digit DMMs
A native integration mates the Keithley DAQ6510 and DMM6500 instruments with Initial State, an loT dashboard for data streaming and visualization for world-class, remote data access. Keithley and Initial State, both Tektronix companies, collaborated to integrate Initial State’s data streaming and visualization platform with the Keithley graphical DAQ6510 and DMM6500. This integration gives a DAQ6510/DMM6500 […]
