VirtualBench plays a key role in reducing the cost and footprint of test and measurement systems by consolidating five of the most commonly used instruments into one device without compromising the performance of each instrument .
Combined with a modern software experience and simple programming interface , it creates new efficiencies for engineers interacting with
“ Engineering workbenches and test systems are getting more and more crowded every day as technologies converge in the latest smart devices ,” said Luke Schreier , director of automated test product marketing at
NI . “ VirtualBench provides the ideal combination of capability at performance levels that can legitimately replace five or more instruments needed to characterize
