What is Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN)?

TSN is the latest extension of the Ethernet standard, but what does it consist of, and how can it be used to synchronize devices on a network? Introduction to TSN Ethernet is a widely used communication standard that forms the backbone of the internet. It is standardized in IEEE 802.3 and is used to communicate […]
What is hardware abstraction?

What is hardware abstraction, and what benefits does it provide when you acquire or generate signals for, for example, test equipment, data acquisition, or control systems? Hardware abstraction: Why and when? When a computer program needs to communicate with a piece of hardware, a driver is required to provide the program with an interface to […]
Which hardware platforms do we use when we build systems?

In terms of software platforms, we build systems using LabVIEW, which is a programming language, and TestStand, which is a test management framework. But what does this look like in terms of hardware platforms? Who is our preferred hardware supplier? In addition to the fact that our primary tools are LabVIEW and TestStand, both of […]
16 Xeon Cores for Embedded Real-Time [PXI Controllers]

Another day at the GPower office. A couple of National Instruments’ fastest PXI controllers arrived at the office this morning! Unfortunately, NDAs prevent us from saying exactly what they will be used for, but we can say that it is as exciting as ever to work here at GPower! A couple of NI’s fastest PXI […]
Get quality controllers at completely different prices than before! [CompactRIO]

Where the price of a high-quality controller has quickly approached DKK 30,000–40,000, this no longer needs to be the case! National Instruments has released a new series of cRIO models at completely different prices than we have seen before—prices that make it easier to launch new projects and complete existing ones. Get quality controllers at […]
CompactRIO – when instruments are customized

“Building High Precision Instruments with CompactRIO”. That was the headline of one of the presentations at NIDays, delivered by our founder, Steen Secher Schmidt. In the presentation, he helped the audience better understand what it means to build instruments using CompactRIO. A brief summary of the presentation Did you miss Steen’s presentation at NIDays in […]
