Test companies collaborate
Wednesday, 23 January, 2008
National Instruments and Anritsu Company have entered into a joint agreement to develop LabVIEW Plug and Play and LabWindows/CVI instrument drivers for Anritsu test instruments.
The companies are working together to make it easy for engineers to combine the LabVIEW graphical development platform and the LabWindows/CVI ANSI C integrated development environment with Anritsu RF and wireless communications test instruments.
NI and Anritsu have collaborated on LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI drivers for several Anritsu products, such as the VNA Master MS2024A/MS2026A, MS2034 and MS2036A handheld vector network analysers; the MS271xB series of economy microwave spectrum analysers; the MT8860B WLAN test sets; and the MT8852B Bluetooth test sets.
These drivers, which make it easy for engineers to connect and control their instruments from the desktop or benchtop, are available for free download.
