Creating XLS files from TDMS Files
Precision testing generates precision data. Acquiring, accessing, and analyzing these data files allows engineers and scientists to lower product costs, engineer time-saving solutions, and even save lives. National Instruments (NI) created the Technical Data Management Streaming (TDMS) file format for high performance data streaming and retrieval. This binary…

Wireless Strain Measurements with iTestSystem, LabVIEW, and Arduino
On a recent project, one of our engineers needed to measure structural strain at several locations on mobile lifting equipment while in operation. Since the strain measurements were distributed and mobile, a wireless internet of things (IOT) solution was required. This blog describes the steps and tools we…

ITM adds NI-9253 Compatibility to iTestSystem
This week we added another module to the iTestSystem compatibility list. One of our iTestSystem users recently needed to collect data from thirty-two (32), 4 to 20 mA current sensors along with their vibration measurements. National Instruments (NI) recently introduced a new C-Series current module, the NI-9253, that…

Roving Accelerometer Impact Tests with iTestSystem
In order to prevent or troubleshoot structural vibration problems, it is important to characterize a structure’s dynamic behavior using both experimental and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technologies. One method used to identify a structure’s vibration modes is to perform a roving accelerometer or roving hammer impact test. In…

Building a Modern User Interface in LabVIEW
When we develop LabVIEW™ applications for our customers, a common request is for a simple, resizable and intuitive user interface (UI) for data visualization. In these cases, we use a tree control and a subpanel. This type of UI functions like a tab control that automatically resizes. The…

Archiving CompactRIO Process Data to PI
The tool we most commonly use for real-time embedded process monitoring and control applications is the NI CompactRIO. These controllers allow us to embed algorithms that acquire and analyze high-speed process sensor data and then output derived key performance indicators (KPIs) to other control systems. Most of the…
