Integrated Software For CompactRIO
By NI - 09 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Embedded software tools today are fragmented. This forces developers to waste time stitching together IDEs, compilers, debuggers, trace tools, profilers, and other disparate pieces in their toolboxes. Then they have to make these pieces cooperate with each other. Furthermore, these same developers must spend months building, testing, and debugging all the dependencies of an OS, middleware, a bo... » read more

Wireless Test Faces New Challenges
By Jeff Dorsch - 09 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

Your mobile phone is far more complex than it was even five years ago, and it’s about to become even more complex with new wireless technologies. That has set off a scramble among test equipment vendors to come up with solutions, methodologies and equipment that is affordable, effective and reliable enough to make sure all of this technology works as planned—and that it continues to work th... » read more

Trade President Trump this week announced his decisions on the actions the administration will take in response to China’s alleged unfair trade practices covered in the USTR Section 301 investigation of “China’s Acts, Policies, and Practices Related to Technology Transfer, Intellectual Property, and Innovation.” Trump has proposed import tariffs that amount to about $60 billion on pro... » read more

Merging Verification With Validation
By Brian Bailey - 22 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 3

Verification and validation are two important steps in the creations of electronic systems and over time their roles, but how they play together is changing. In fact, today we are seeing a major opportunity for rethinking this aspect of the flow, which could mean the end of them as separate tasks for many of the chips being created. As with many things in this industry, however, squeezing it... » read more

The Bumpy Road To 5G
By Ed Sperling - 21 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 1

5G is coming, but not everywhere, not all at once, and not the fastest version of this technology right away. In fact, the probable scenario is that 5G will be rolled out first in densely populated urban areas, starting in 2020 or 2021, with increasingly widespread adoption over the next decade after that. But 5G is unlikely to ever completely replace 4G LTE, just as a smart phone today roll... » read more

By Gent Paparisto, Joel Kirshman, and David Vye The CP-OFDM modulation scheme will have many options. Variable subcarrier spacing (SCS) will be 3.75, 15, 30, 60, 120, 240, 480 kHz with sub-1 GHz of 15 and 30 kHz and sub-6 GHz of 15, 30, and 60 kHz, and above 6 GHz of 60 and 120 kHz. There will be normal and extended CP options. Slot duration will be 0.5 ms, subframe curation will be 1 ms, an... » read more

TATA Motors Builds HIL Test System For Hybrid Vehicle Simulation Using NI Tools
By NI - 05 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

The Challenge: Developing a scalable, flexible, and universal hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) platform to validate the integration of multiple electronic control units (ECUs) for a parallel hybrid vehicle. The Solution: Using the scalability of the PXI platform and the out-of-the-box functionality of NI VeriStand software to build a test system that could test six interconnected vehicle ECUs toge... » read more
