India’s growth story in software and IT has been known to all. Software based development and services have taken a prime position in every industry. Instrumentation is not an exception. Software based functions in instrumentation is now catching grounds significantly like testing.

Automotive Testing is an area which plays a role in manufacturing industry and various other industries also. virtual instrumentation is the order of the day due to its value addition in terms of increased productivity, cost efficiency, control and design application through software. With innovative use of virtual instrumentation engineers and scientists will be able to distinguish themselves better than before.

There is a rising pressure for the companies to come out with innovative products which suffice the need to consumer today and be competitive in the market. Such product ideation, design, prototype and testing has to be done regularly and much faster. From the traditional prototype and testing, virtual instrumentation is productive software of graphic programming, which expands to integrate all the disparate software tools of different product development stages.

To ensure superior virtual instrumentation like efficient code use and functionality during the stages of testing, module I/O is integrated. Latest COTS technologies like FPGAs, DSPs, PCI express etc expedite deployment of the approved and verified designs.

Engineers and scientists now want to have lesser development time, design superior quality products at a lesser cost hence trained engineers in modular and graphical approach, system integration would expedite the process in attending to customers. All engineers now have to be exposed to Lab View graphical system design software to leverage the benefits of virtual instrumentation.

Majority of the instrument providers will adopt software-based technologies for their product development and will redefine the test and automation industry.
