Virtual Instrumentation - Changing the Face of Design, Measurement and Automation

By Jayaram Pillai, Managing Director, National Instruments, India


From testing cars in automotive companies to controlling production and quality in manufacturing plants, the must need for engineers and scientists is to have a flexible cost-effective solutions for test and measurement. Around 30 years ago, to address these needs, a different way to solve the test and measurement problem was evolved, called "virtual instrumentation". Today, virtual instrumentation has reached mainstream acceptance and is used in thousands of applications around the world in the industries such as automotive, electronics, and oil and gas.
The concept of virtual instrumentation is, an engineer can use software running on a computer combined with instrumentation hardware to define a custom, built-to-order test and measurement solution. The vision of virtual instrumentation revolutionized the way engineers and scientists work, delivering solutions with faster development time, lower costs, and greater flexibility.

Virtual Instrumentation

Objective

General idea of Virtual Instrumentation
Necessity
Basic idea about LabVIEW
Application area

Virtual Instrumentation

Combines three elements.
1) productive software:-Helps in rapid development & increase functionality. .

2) Modular I/O:- Very helpful in virtual instrumentation. it is quickly accessible during current operation.


3)Synchronizing platforms:-Provide latest computer capabilities .

Necessity of Virtual Instrumentation

Delivers instrumentation with the rapid adaptability.
Engineers can create the user define instruments.
Helps in rapid development and extend the functionality, design and text instrumentation also.
Component modular I/O has quickly accessibility for functions during concurrent operation.
Provides the flexibility to adapt and extend as needs change.
