NI RIO Hardware and LabVIEW Software | www.ni.com/embeddedsystems/products
NI embedded systems combine LabVIEW software with off-the-shelf hardware to simplify development and shorten time to market. All NI Reconfigurable I/O (RIO) hardware products are built on the NI LabVIEW RIO Architecture that features floating point processors, reconfigurable FPGAs, and modular I/O. And with LabVIEW, engineers can customize hardware and integrate custom timing, signal processing, and high-speed control without requiring expertise in low-level hardware description languages or board-level design. NI offers a variety of hardware platforms based on the LabVIEW RIO Architecture, including NI CompactRIO, NI Single-Board RIO, NI R Series devices, and PXI-based NI FlexRIO modules. With varying degrees of performance, cost, I/O rates, form factor, and ruggedness, NI RIO hardware devices can meet your unique needs of your embedded control and monitoring applications. Take advantage of National Instruments’ comprehensive, integrated hardware and software platform to empower your team and focus on the engineering tasks that matter most.
