NI Announces New Connectivity Between AWR Design Environment and NI LabVIEW, Unifies RF, Microwave Design and Test
National Instruments has announced new connectivity between NI LabVIEW system design software and the AWR Visual System Simulator software for RF and microwave system design. As the first major joint development between NI and AWR following NI’s recent acquisition of AWR, the new connectivity helps engineers to better use measurements in the design flow by executing LabVIEW code directly from the AWR design environment.
“TFeatures:
• AWR Design Environment can now incorporate LabVIEW signal processing capabilities including multirate digital signal processing, wireless standards, modulation, fixed-point math and more.
• Engineers can integrate VHDL and LabVIEW FPGA Module code through NI field-programmable gate array-based hardware directly into VSS diagrams.
• New connectivity to both PXI and traditional RF instrumentation makes it easier to incorporate measurement data into simulations.
