"For more than 27 years, National Instruments (NI) has leveraged industry-standard computers, the Internet, and cutting-edge technology to help engineers and scientists build test, measurement, and control solutions. We are a pioneer and leader in virtual instrumentation – a concept that has changed the way engineers and scientists approach measurement and control.
Virtual instrumentation increases productivity and lowers costs through easy-to integrate software, such as the NI LabVIEW graphical development environment; and modular hardware, such as PCI and PXI modules for data acquisition, instrument control, and machine vision."
