Test software streamlines real-time system development
A software environment for creating real-time testing applications, such as hardware-in-the-loop and controlled-environmental tests, VeriStand 2009 simplifies and streamlines the test-creation process by abstracting software complexity so users can easily focus on making tests as thorough as possible. The open, configuration-based software gives designers the ability to quickly capture essential hardware I/O, simulation models, and other real-time task settings, and it provides common real-time test functions implemented and optimized inside the platform in ready-to-use format.
The software supports configuration of a multicore-ready real-time engine that not only works with third-party I/O interfaces — including a variety of PXI data acquisition and FPGA-based I/O interfaces — but also implements triggerable data-logging and stimulus-generation tasks.
Users can import control algorithms and simulation models from LabVIEW and other modeling environments into the platform. Its configurable run-time interface — which includes various tools for interacting with real-time test apps — is run-time editable, so engineers can modify interfaces without interrupting test execution. No programming knowledge is needed to use the software, but it can be customized using the company’s LabVIEW, LabVIEW FPGA Module, and TestStand, as well as third-party software including Visual Studio, .NET, and Python.
