NI announces the release of Labview NXG, the next-generation version of Labview system design software
Thanks to Labview NXG, engineers can now perform smarter tests: quickly set up their instruments, customize their tests to the specifications of their hardware, and easily visualize results from any web browser, and from any hardware.
This release of Labview NXG introduces key new features and reinvents capabilities that have long provided an advantage to engineers who develop, deploy and manage automated test and measurement systems. With WebVI, this new version now provides a type of VI that allows you to build Web user interfaces (UIs) that can be deployed on any web browser (on PC, tablet or smartphone), and that doesn't require a plugin or installer. In addition, the new SystemDesigner reduces hardware configuration time by automatically recognizing connected hardware, displaying installed drivers, and providing links to NI and third-party drivers if not already installed.
In addition, this latest release extends hardware support to thousands of instruments, as well as to high-performance NI modular instrumentation in PXI format. Labview NXG also provides programming capabilities, including object-oriented programming and integration with TestStand, the industry's leading test management software.
Many Labview NXG features, such as WebVI, are designed to work with existing Labview applications without the need for extensive code refactoring. Engineers can reuse test code, including code written with Labview NXG or Labview, using a new package management interface based on industry-standard package formats.
" When building test systems using Labview and Labview NXG, I can use both versions and benefit from the strengths of each. ", explains Brian Hoover, test software architect at Samsung SDI. " With the latest developments in LabVIEW NXG, I can integrate new modes of data visualization into my existing LabVIEW applications, i.e. a vector-based graphical user interface on the desktop, or display in a browser to benefit from secure hosting, and thus simplify the creation of test result reports. "
As NI continues to build on its 30+ year investment in software, this latest next-generation Labview upgrade is part of a series of software releases designed to extend engineering capabilities from design to test.
