Connectivity between AWR VSS and NI LabVIEW

Tuesday, 19 June, 2012

National Instruments has announced connectivity between NI LabVIEW system design software and the AWR Visual System Simulator (VSS) software for RF and microwave system design.

The connectivity helps engineers to better use measurements in the design flow by executing LabVIEW code directly from the AWR design environment.

“This integration between LabVIEW and the VSS is the direct result of our first joint initiative,” said Joe Pekarek, chief technology officer at AWR.

Features include: AWR design environment can now incorporate LabVIEW signal processing capabilities including multirate digital signal processing (DSP), wireless standards, modulation, fixed-point math and more; engineers can integrate VHDL and LabVIEW FPGA module code through NI field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based hardware directly into VSS diagrams; connectivity to both PXI and traditional RF instrumentation makes it easier to incorporate measurement data into simulations.

“We’re very happy with the new capabilities that LabVIEW co-simulation brings to VSS and are looking forward to further product integration in the future,” said Pekarek.
