NI updates VeriStand

12 October 2011 Test & Measurement

National Instruments has released VeriStand 2011, the latest version of its configuration-based software environment for creating real-time testing and simulation applications including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators and test cells.

The new version includes a real-time stimulus profile tool that expands deterministic test execution with looping and branching structures, composable arithmetic functions, multitasking and more. Engineers can combine VeriStand 2011 with INERTIA, an add-on from Wineman Technology, which adds a suite of tools to VeriStand for optimised closed-loop control of dynamometer and servo-hydraulic-based test cells.

The new stimulus profile tool in VeriStand 2011 makes it possible for engineers to create and reuse sophisticated test profiles. The tool includes an expansive library of structures and operators that decrease test development time and increase test coverage. It is also enhanced with templates for common test routines such as multitasking and data-logging, and includes other features specifically designed to broaden test coverage and simplify code reuse in even the most demanding real-time testing applications.
