National Instruments has announced NI VeriStand 2012, the latest version of its configuration-based software environment with an open, intuitive software interface for developing real-time testing applications. Engineers can use the new version of NI VeriStand to perform high-speed data acquisition and logging and to find useful data faster during postprocessing with additional data logging flexibility. They can get up and running faster using new hardware configuration utilities, and NI SC Express integration makes acquiring conditioned measurements easier than ever before.

"This release of NI VeriStand is the next step in our investment to provide a real-time testing platform that reduces risk and cost across a spectrum of applications ranging from embedded software validation to mechanical test systems," said Mike Santori, NI Business and Technology Fellow. "As the importance of software continues to grow in today's products and systems, we continue to add new features to NI VeriStand to help engineers meet strict time-to-market requirements despite increasing test challenges."
