Engineers can use LabVIEW 2018, LabVIEW NXG and
the NI software portfolio to reach optimal testing performance
NIWeek – NI (Nasdaq: NATI), the provider of a
software-defined platform that helps accelerate the development and
performance of automated test and automated measurement systems,
today announced the release of LabVIEW 2018. For decades, LabVIEW
has led the industry in platform software for test workflows.
Engineers can exceed their speed of innovation with LabVIEW 2018 by
taking advantage of new tools that simplify system integration and
grant more control through hardware accessibility.

Applications that impact our daily lives are increasing in
complexity due to the rapid innovation brought on by industry
trends such as 5G, the Industrial Internet of Things and autonomous
vehicles. Consequently, the challenge of testing these devices to
ensure reliability, quality and safety introduce new demands and
test configurations, with decreased time and budget. Engineers need
better tools to organize, develop and integrate systems so they can
accomplish their goals within the acceptable boundaries.
Engineers can use LabVIEW 2018 to address a multitude of these
challenges. They can integrate more third-party IP from tools like
Python to make the most of the strengths of each package or
existing IP from their stakeholders. Test engineers can use new
functionality in LabVIEW 2018 to strengthen code reliability by
automating the building and execution of software through
integration with open interface tools like Jenkins for continuous
delivery. Capabilities like this empower test engineers to focus on
system integration and development where they can offer unique
differentiation, rather than get bogged down in the semantics of
how to use software tools or move IP from one to another. For test
engineers using FPGAs for high-performance processing, new deep
learning functions and improved floating-point operations can
reduce time to market.
“NI’s continued commitment to its software-centric platform
accelerates my productivity so I can focus on the challenges that
yield the highest ROIs,” says Chris Cilino, LabVIEW framework
architect at Cirrus Logic. “LabVIEW continues to minimize the
effort of adding tests and code modifications to our validation
framework, delivering a consistent process to maintain our software
and incorporate the reuse of valuable IP without rewrites.”
To meet demands like testing higher complexity DUTs and shorter
timeframes, engineers need tools tailored to their needs that they
can efficiently use through their workflow, helping them to meet
their exact application requirements. LabVIEW 2018 is the latest
addition to NI’s software-centric platform that features products
tailored to needs within distinct stages of their workflow –
products that have been adopted in whole or in part by more than
300,000 active users.
With InstrumentStudio™ software providing an interactive
multi-instrument experience, TestStand test management software
handling overall execution and reporting and SystemLink™ software
managing assets and software deployments, this workflow improves
the productivity of test and validation labs across many
industries. Each piece of the workflow is also interoperable with
third-party software to maximize code and IP reuse and draws on the
LabVIEW Tools Network ecosystem of add-ons and tools for more
application-specific requirements.
Engineers can access both LabVIEW 2018 and LabVIEW NXG with a
single purchase of LabVIEW. For more information, visit
