VeriStand is a National Instruments software environment for configuring and testing real-time data acquisition and control systems. The system features a software architecture that acquires, processes and outputs analog and digital signals on one or more NI real-time controllers. The behavior of the system is defined primarily by configuring elements within a hierarchal, tree structure in a “System Explorer” window. Other notable features include an easy-to-use UI editor; a text-based scripting language for programming auto-sequences; and, compatibility with LabVIEW and DIAdem.
This presentation provides an introduction to VeriStand and shows how the system was used for testing an Air Turbo Rocket propulsion system.
