Ni Switch Executive

? The latest offering from national instruments is ni switch executive, the market first open switch management software that assists with the organization and routing of switching systems in automated test applications. This can now be used with management technology traditionally available in large, expensive, vendor-defined automated test equipment (ate). The company uses modular hardware and powerful software coupled with commercial technologies, such as personal computer, to originate affordable, custom-defined automated test systems. Due to this, a broader set of applications - including research and design validating testing - are gaining from automated test technologies that were once exclusively accesible to manufacturing test applications in industries such as semiconductor and military electronics. With this product design engineers can build a personalised automated test system in the fraction of the time - and for the fraction of the price - of traditional, proprietary ate. The ni switch executive delivers a modular, affordable ate to a wider base of engineers, such as those in design validation. It offers switch management technologies to modular automated test systems, which seamlessly joins one with labview?and teststand.?rather than using low level programming to control switching systems, we can now take the best use of software-assisted routing with ni switch executive to quickly connect instruments or other testing devices to testing points.We also can name channels with descriptive secondary names, such as corresponding terminals, instruments, or test points, to easily identify connections. In addition, it adds accuracy and efficiency to switching applications. Instead of disconnecting all switches between test sequences, ni switch executive sustains common connections in switch configurations between test
