Key Features Unified Software Interface The VirtualBench application requires zero installation and can load automatically via Windows Autoplay when connected through USB. The integrated view of all five instruments allows you to import/export instrument configurations for easier replication of test conditions. VirtualBench also includes software capabilities like digital phosphor density maps for displaying multiple acquisitions simultaneously, XY mode for plotting channels against one another, and hands-free smart capture for automatic data capture of repeated stable waveforms. In order...

Figure 3: Simplify your measurements using intuitive configuration menus. The configured pulse width trigger reliably captures the displayed signal glitch. Figure 4: Debug your system more easily by leveraging the built-in protocol decoder alongside the other instruments on the same time scale. The zero registered on the “DAC1” SPI line is likely the culprit of the glitch shown. | ni.com | VirtualBench All-in-One Instrumen
