NI VeriStand 2009 serves test and simulation applications
-- Test & Measurement World, 9/1/2009 2:00:00 AM
National Instruments at NIWeek 2009 (August 4–6, Austin, TX) announced NI VeriStand 2009, an open, configuration-based software environment for creating real-time testing applications such as hardware-in-the-loop and controlled environmental tests. VeriStand implements the common functionalities of a real-time test system in a ready-to-use format, enabling developers to complete their test-application development efficiently. NI VeriStand helps developers configure a multicore-ready, real-time engine capable of supporting third-party I/O interfaces including a variety of data-acquisition and FPGA-based I/O interfaces as well as triggerable datalogging and stimulus-generation tasks.
Customers’ control algorithms and simulation models often required by real-time testing applications also can be imported into NI VeriStand from NI LabView software and many third-party modeling environments, including The MathWorks’ Simulink and ITI SimulationX. In addition, NI VeriStand provides a configurable run-time interface that includes a variety of tools to interact with real-time testing applications. The user interface is a run-time-editable workspace, so engineers can create and modify their user interfaces without interrupting real-time test-system execution.
NI VeriStand helps developers quickly capture the essential hardware I/O, simulation model, and other real-time task settings using an interactive system explorer window. These settings are saved in a system definition that is deployed to a real-time execution target such as a PXI system. Engineers then can add user-interface controls and indicators and map them to the system-definition resources to interact with their test systems. They also can use stimulus profile editors to create stimulus and logging configurations that are deployed to the execution target for deterministic execution.
While no programming knowledge is required to use NI VeriStand, the software is designed to be customized and extended using the LabView, LabView FPGA Module, NI TestStand, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, and Python environments.
