The mioDAQ from NI has two 20-bit and two 16-bit flavors. Analog outputs come with two or four, with 16-bit DIO and counters. USB data-acquisition (DAQ) devices have been on the market for many years and come in many varieties. What makes the mioDAQ series from NI different is its 20-bit vertical resolution on two […]

What is de-embedding and how do I perform it (part 1)?
It’s a tenet of the test-and-measurement industry that you should concentrate on looking for defects in your device under test (DUT) — not in your test equipment. Figure 1 illustrates a common problem. An instrument presents an incorrect reading; in this case, an LRC meter or multimeter presents a resistance reading that’s about 5% low. […]
UWB automated tester receives FiRa certification
NI announces validation by the FiRa Consortium of its UWB PHY test solution. Device manufacturers can now use NI’s solution and chip designers to test the conformance of their ultra-wideband (UWB) automatically enabled products against version 1.3 of FiRa’s PHY specifications. UWB is useful for devices requiring low power, operating over a short range that can coexist with […]
Software bundle helps engineers optimize test systems
The Test Workflow subscription bundle for automating test systems expands engineers’ access to the software needed to design and automate a test or measurement system through a single software license. With engineers firmly planted at the center of digital transformation, they need to build better, higher performing products faster than ever before. To help them […]
Digi-Key Electronics to distribute NI test and measurement products
Digi-Key Electronics now handles certain NI software-connected test and measurement products. This initiative greatly expands Digi-Key’s overall offerings in automated test. Companies continue to face the challenge of getting quality products to market with shorter timelines. Engineers using Digi-Key’s global distribution channel and next day shipping will now have quick access to tools they can […]
Software handles test operations, data management at the enterprise level
The enterprise version of NI SystemLink software standardizes the way data is shared and analyzed to enable increased visibility and control of test systems across an entire organization. In this way, SystemLink software serves as an important bridge between engineering and manufacturing departments in their efforts to improve overall operational efficiencies and drive digital transformation […]

NI, the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges, announced today a new PXI FlexRIO architecture that integrates mezzanine I/O modules with Xilinx Kintex UltraScale FPGAs. The first wave of products based on this new architecture includes two high-resolution PXI FlexRIO Digitizers, three dedicated PXI FlexRIO […]
Vector Signal Transceiver sports 1 GHz bandwidth, LabView-programmable FPGA
NI (Nasdaq: NATI), the provider of platform-based systems that enable engineers and scientists to solve the world’s greatest engineering challenges announced a second-generation vector signal transceiver (VST). The NI PXIe-5840 module is the world’s first 1 GHz bandwidth VST and is designed to solve the most challenging RF design and test applications. “NI redefined instrumentation […]
DAQ Series: Podcast: miniSystems for Engineering Excellence
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 […]
