National Instruments

For more than 30 years, National Instruments (NI) has been a technology pioneer and leader in virtual instrumentation – a revolutionary concept that has changed the way engineers and scientists in industry, government, and academia approach measurement and automation.

Leveraging PCs and commercial technologies, virtual instrumentation increases productivity and lowers costs for test, control, and design applications through easy-to-integrate software, such as NI LabVIEW, and modular measurement and control hardware for PXI, PCI, PCI Express, USB, and Ethernet.

With virtual instrumentation, engineers use graphical programming software to create user-defined solutions that meet their specific needs - a different concept from the proprietary, fixed functionality of traditional instruments. Additionally, virtual instrumentation capitalizes on the ever-increasing performance of personal computers. For example, in test, measurement, and control, engineers have used virtual instrumentation to downsize automated test equipment (ATE) while experiencing up to a 10 times increase in productivity gains at a fraction of the cost of traditional instrument solutions. Last year 25,000 companies in 90 countries invested in more than 6 million virtual instrumentation channels from National Instruments.

Headquartered in Austin, Texas, NI has 4,000 employees with direct operations in nearly 40 countries. For the past 8 years, FORTUNE magazine has named NI one of the 100 best companies to work for in America. (Corporate Website: www.ni.com)
