National Instruments VeriStand 2011 real-time and HIL testing

National Instruments has released NI VeriStand 2011, its configuration-based software environment for creating real-time testing and simulation applications including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulators and test cells. This updated version includes a real-time stimulus profile tool that expands deterministic test execution with looping and branching structures, composable arithmetic functions and multitasking. Engineers can combine NI VeriStand 2011 with INERTIA, an add-on from Wineman Technology, which adds a suite of tools to NI VeriStand for optimised closed-loop control of dynamometer and servo-hydraulic-based test cells.

The stimulus profile tool in NI VeriStand 2011 increases test development efficiency and system capabilities by making it possible to quickly create and re-use test profiles. The tool includes a library of structures and operators that decrease test development time and increase test coverage. It also is enhanced with templates for common test routines such as multitasking and data logging and includes other features specifically designed to broaden test coverage and simplify code re-use.

When combined with NI VeriStand 2011, INERTIA gives engineers closed-loop control with bumpless mode switching, dither and other features that are useful for implementing real-time control and test applications. The add-on also includes tools for tuning and monitoring control loops and accounting for mechanical life cycle degradation through amplitude control. Additionally, INERTIA builds on the new stimulus profile editor in NI VeriStand to provide an application-specific test editor for more efficient authoring of deterministic stimulus profiles that interface with multiple actuator control loops.

NI VeriStand 2011 also provides expanded native support for 14 modelling environments.
