Hardware's Role in Virtual Instrumentation
I/O plays a critical role in virtual instrumentation. To accelerate test, control, and design, you must be able to rapidly adapt I/O hardware to new concepts and products. Virtual instrumentation delivers this capability in the form of modularity within scalable hardware platforms. Get an introduction to a few of these platforms and modular I/O types.
