To reduce the cost of ownership of test systems and increase reuse, the DoD, through the Navy's NxTest program, has specified that future ATE use an architecture built on modular hardware and that ...

Dedicated test and measurement instruments offer many advantages. They tend to be easily programmed and optimized for the target application. To facilitate their integration into laboratory ...

Synthetic instrumentation (SI) offers a different approach to test and measurement. It uses a collection of basic hardware and software building blocks in a flexible, open, and modular architecture to ...

In an earlier post I commented on industry observers' claims that virtual instrumentation is a superset of synthetic instrumentation. Chris Nadovich offers a caveat at Synthetic Sheep: “By calling SI ...
