In this DAQ Series, we discuss how DAQs are scaled down for educational purposes. National Instruments is dedicated to teaching engineering fundamentals beyond theory and mathematical applications. Its target is to teach students engineering concepts as a whole. The idea of teaching students hands-on, visual applications came from the suggestions of professors and teachers at […]

NI PXIe-5667 Receiver Delivers Measurement Performance Challenges
National Instruments announced the NI PXIe-5667 spectrum monitoring receiver to address radio monitoring, interference detection, spectrum regulation and related applications in line with ITU recommendations. Coupled with NI FlexRIO and the NI LabVIEW FPGA Module, the NI PXIe-5667 can perform real-time analysis of RF signals such as continuous spectrum monitoring, spectrogram and advanced signal processing […]
NI Releases NI 5791 RF transceiver adapter module for NI FlexRIO
National Instruments commercially released the NI 5791 RF transceiver adapter module for NI FlexRIO, which is currently being used in multiple cutting-edge research projects on 5G technologies. The module forms a powerful SDR solution when paired with an NI FlexRIO FPGA module for real-time, user-designed processing. Through triggering mechanisms provided by the PXI platform, users […]
National Instruments is big on global citizenship
The National Instruments Co. (NI) provides integrated software and hardware to scientists and engineers. Founded in 1976, three college students (James Truchard, PhD, Jeff Kodosky, and Bill Nowlin) developed this technology-based enterprise. The company’s instrumentation hardware and graphical system design software convert standard PCs into industrial automation and test and measurement systems. These “virtual instruments” can […]
NI Week 2012 – National Instruments LabView CompactRio
At NI Week 2012, there is much buzz about NI LabVIEW’s CompactRio and its software support. The Rio is an interchangeable system that can hold 8 modules in its platform with 50 different modules to choose from. Thus, a user can have over 1 billion combinations to tailor their specific design parameters. The Rio does […]
PCB Design, Bringing It All Together
For anyone who has ever turned a PCB it is an obvious thing to ask for but we have all just stopped asking because one might die before it ever occurred: Integration between part manufacturer, distributor, PCB house, and PCB design tools into a development environment for the engineer. The esoteric electronic design automation (EDA) tools for the printed circuit boards of today could use some help. And that is putting it nicely.
National Instrument’s new Modular Instruments for measurement and test
Technologies from National Instruments (www.ni.com) have revolutionized the way scientists and engineers in academia, government and industry approach measurement, test and automation, with the introduction of its new PXI – a PC-based platform for measurement, test and control. The PXI delivers the industry’s lowest latency and highest bandwidth with modular I/O for high-resolution DC to […]
PXIe-4331 DAQ Module Built for Bridge-Based Measurements
National Instruments introduced the PXIe-4331, a PXI Express data acquisition module for high-speed bridge-based measurements. According to National Instruments, the data acquisition module increases accuracy and bandwidth for high-channel-count strain, load and pressure measurement systems. The NI PXIe-4331 has built-in signal conditioning, and is a simultaneous high-speed bridge input module that provides signal conditioning for […]
