LabVIEW connects with AWR design environment

11 July 2012 Design Automation

National Instruments announced new connectivity between LabVIEW system design software and the AWR Visual System Simulator (VSS) software for RF and microwave system design. As the first major joint development between the companies following NI’s recent acquisition of AWR, the new connectivity helps engineers to better use measurements in the design flow by executing LabVIEW code directly from the AWR design environment.

The AWR design environment can now incorporate LabVIEW signal processing capabilities including multi-rate digital signal processing (DSP), wireless standards, modulation, fixed-point math and more. Engineers can integrate VHDL and LabVIEW FPGA module code through NI field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based hardware directly into VSS diagrams. New connectivity to both PXI and traditional RF instrumentation makes it easier to incorporate measurement data into simulations.
