System Management and Monitoring

Providing customers with software to optimize the efficiency of system configuration tasks, such as software deployment, device management, and diagnostics. This included applications to increase test efficiency and minimize test downtime, monitoring and reporting the status, results, and operational parameters of automated tests.

Data Visualization

Proper data visualization helps drive good engineering decisions and the needs of scientists and engineers. To address the many needs of these customers, National Instruments works to understand the frustrations and expectations when visualizing data. Continued effort is spent identifying and prioritizing these needs for current and future product releases.

Tool Development and Research

While designing high-quality game systems and content was a primary goal at Zynga, the development of a Content Creation Tool became a focus for the team. The large amount of content required for a successful product launch far exceeded the amount designers were capable of generating by hand editing text files. Eventually, it became necessary to develop a tool that allowed designers to focus on creating content instead of reviewing scripts for errors prior to compiling them.

Hardware Configuration & Management

National Instruments (NI) is known for automated test hardware equipment and virtual instrumentation software. This hardware could be configured through NI’s stand-alone Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool. With the release of LabVIEW NXG, users could add, view and manage their hardware within LabView using the System Diagram feature.
