Five Benchtop Instruments. One Unified Interface. 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, VirtualBench creates new efficiencies for engineers interacting with benchtop test equipment or developing low-cost automated test systems. The VirtualBench hardware family currently consists of three models most easily designated by oscilloscope analog bandwidth: 100, 350, and 500 MHz. These models allow the VirtualBench family to serve a wide range of applications and price points in academic labs, hardware characterization/debug benches, and automated test systems.

The Digital Communications Teaching bundle provides relevant, hands-on laboratory learning in RF and communications as an affordable teaching solution. The NI USRP hardware and LabVIEW software combination offers students a unique and relevant opportunity to experiment with a wide range of real-world signals in introductory communications and digital communications laboratories. With this solution, students can focus on the practical implementation of theoretical algorithms and real-world impairments earlier in the curriculum. This includes ready-to-teach digital communications courseware by Professor Robert W. Heather Jr., Ph.D., P.E., transmit/recieve pair of NI USRP-2920 (50MHz to 2.2GHz), covers FM radio, GPS, GSM, radar, and ISM bands, and includes NI technical support and 1-year extendable warranty.

myDAQ combines a comprehensive set of plug-and-play computer-based lab instruments with portability for hands-on student learning in or outside the lab. myDAQ Student Data Acquisition Devices feature eight commonly used plug-and-play computer-based lab instruments based on LabVIEW, including a digital multimeter (DMM), oscilloscope, and function generator. Students can access all the ready-to-run software instruments to perform experiments and exercises with the Bode analyzer, arbitrary waveform generator, dynamic signal analyzer (fast Fourier transform), digital input, and digital output. These affordable devices allow for real engineering and, when combined with LabVIEW and NI Multisim software, give students the power to prototype systems and analyze circuits outside traditional lectures and labs.

Common sensors and components for NI Student projects for use with NI myRIO

Provides reconfigurable I/O that allows you to teach and implement multiple design concepts with one device. The myRIO Student Embedded Device features I/O on both sides of the device in the form of MXP and MSP connectors. It includes analog inputs, analog outputs, digital I/O lines, LEDs, a push button, an onboard accelerometer, a Xilinx FPGA, and a dual‐core ARM Cortex‐A9 processor. Some models also include WiFi support. You can program the myRIO Student Embedded Device with LabVIEW or C. With its onboard devices, seamless software experience, and library of courseware and tutorials, the myRIO Student Embedded Device provides an affordable tool for students and educators.
