NI FlexLogger data-logging software

NI has announced FlexLogger configuration-based data-logging software for validation testing. With intuitive workflows and integrated data management, the software helps automotive test departments quickly capture well-documented data to verify system functionality in real-world conditions and comply with strict government regulations.

Engineers can use the product to help simplify test configurations and extract key insights with sensor-specific workflows to acquire and log synchronised, mixed measurements, with no programming required. They can quickly integrate analog sensors, digital pulse frequencies, CAN signals and calculated channels that are all logged to the universal Technical Data Management Streaming (TDMS) file format, so data can be correlated and analysed to characterise an entire system. These capabilities also address similar challenges faced by test departments in other industries including heavy equipment, aerospace, appliances and academic research.

The system’s configuration-based workflows empower technicians to streamline test development, integrate measurements and manage data using NI’s flexible software platform and modular hardware. For example, leveraging NI’s data management expertise, the product automatically logs descriptive metadata about the test configuration including sensor and hardware acquisition settings for easy traceability. Test departments can improve access to data and effectively communicate results to the organisation using DIAdem data management software to find, analyse and report on FlexLogger data.
