More than 100 MB of measurement data per minute

This amount of data must be processed by one of our evaluation applications for test bench data. Only a handful of characteristic parameters remain from complex time curves and a million measurement values. And only these parameters – and, above all, their changes over the course of the test, which can last days or weeks […]

Educational for us too – our LabVIEW training courses

After a longer break, we recently held another LabVIEW training course – a combination of LabVIEW Core 1 and 2 on behalf of NI. Although we work with the software on an almost everyday basis, it is always useful for us to discuss the underlying programming concept and question some of our own practices. This […]

LabVIEW – all or nothing?

Our software for universal automotive test benches is available in three versions: as a pure LabVIEW solution or based on TwinCAT with either LabVIEW or DIAdem as the user interface. We can vary the software structure depending on customer requirements in terms of software environment, flexibility, hardware interfaces and, last but not least, software licence […]

Analyse large amounts of data individually at the click of a button? It’s possible – with NI DIAdem and our applications.

Up to four railway wagons, equipped with hundreds of sensors and exposed to cold, heat or storms, deliver data over days and weeks in the world’s largest climate wind tunnel at Rail Tec Arsenal in Vienna – and the results are available in seconds. How does it work? With an NI DIAdem-based application for automatic […]

‘Automation saves us 30% time – every day!’

That’s what the project manager at Volkswagen says about our solution for recording and evaluating quiescent current measurements in motor cars. How does it work? Through consistent, end-to-end automation. All the information is obtained from the test order system in order to automatically perform both the respective measurement and the associated evaluation. The parameter structure […]

What Siemens can do, we can do too!

We recently posted on LinkedIn about an unsuccessful attempt to obtain a PC with a Profinet interface from Siemens. Of course, this did not change the customer’s needs. And since system integration is also part of our services, we now offer the IPC327G with Hilscher cifX M3042100BM – fully assembled, with all the necessary software […]

It doesn’t always have to be LabVIEW and Profinet, …

… as described in this post. In fact, we often combine LabVIEW and EtherCAT (not least because NI itself uses EtherCAT on its cRIO platform) and sometimes also LabVIEW and SERCOS III. Sometimes we also have to switch between buses, as is the case with our multi-bus-capable test benches, where the bus can change from […]

LabVIEW and Profinet communication – how to combine?

This has been the trending topic of our customer inquiries in recent weeks. While the capabilities of LabVIEW and NI hardware in the acquisition and output of analog signals are undisputed, the situation is different when it comes to connecting real-time Ethernet buses. Numerous forum discussions and questions from our customers prove this. For a […]

Have you ever checked how much money is spent on software licences in your area of responsibility?

And how much software services tailored to your needs could you purchase with the money saved if you only paid for the software licences you actually need? Those who offer software services based on standard software often encounter a striking contradiction: while the costs for a solution tailored to the client and the application are […]

We’ve known it for a while – Emerson and NI fit together

For more than 20 years we support the Emerson subsidiary Aventics with solutions based on NI hardware and software, such as compactRIO, LabVIEW and DIAdem. Therefore we look forward to see what synergies will result for our work from Emerson’s acquisition of NI.
