Advanced Features Of High-Speed Digital I/O Devices: Timing
By NI - 14 Jan, 2020 - Comments: 0

In digital communication, timing is the most essential element. Any kind of violation to timing could cause you to transmit or receive incorrect data. As instruments and communication rates get faster, timing becomes even more vital, as even the smallest of changes in edges (in the pico-second range), could cause incorrect tests and communication failures. In the following paragraphs, discover ... » read more

Six Things You Need To Know About USB Instrument Control

Selecting an Approach to Build Flexible, Cost-Effective ECU Production Test Systems
By NI - 11 Nov, 2019 - Comments: 0

Electronic control units (ECUs) were invented in the 1970s. At that time, people needed to improve fuel economy due to the oil crisis, which meant finding a way to make engines run cleaner and pollute less. Engines used a mechanical device called a distributor to control spark timing and a carburetor to control the fuel mixture. This mechanical system had minimal tuning and adjustment capabilit... » read more
