NI describes its DIAdem application software as a tool ‘for quickly finding, testing, analysing and documenting measurement data.’ It is often forgotten that DIAdem is also a practical tool for performing a wide range of measurement and control tasks. Numerous drivers and interfaces are available for this purpose. Finally, the integrated script functionality not only […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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.

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.

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 […]

… 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 […]

This has been the trending topic of our customer inquiries in recent weeks.

Yes, if the aim is to continue using proven functionality and enable cost-effective adaptation to new requirements.

There is powerful visualization software available for every PLC that can display current system states in almost any way. And yet there is sometimes the need for a simple way to record, visualize, save and analyze PLC data. If the PLC has a fieldbus interface (e.g. Profinet, EtherCAT, SERCOS III or Ethernet/IP), this is very […]

For a long time, it was everywhere, but recently there wasn’t much to hear about – NI’s big analogue data (TM), characterised by the five Vs: volume, variety, velocity, value and visibility. Of course, it is still there and growing. Perhaps it has fallen out of the spotlight because we have become accustomed to it. […]

The use case is typical: many sources provide data that is evaluated in a standardized way and then used by a group of users. In this specific case, measurements on vehicles in drive simulations produce large amounts of data around the clock. This data is processed, searched for events and used to calculate characteristic parameters. […]
