NI.Switch.Executive.v15.10.Incl.Keygen Overview NI Switch Executive is an intelligent switch management and routing application. It offers the latest revolution in switching software for automated test equipment (ATE) systems. With NI Switch Executive, you gain increased development productivity by interactively configuring and naming switch modules, external connections, and signal routes. You can also increase test code reuse and system performance using switch programming with NI TestStand, LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI, and Measurement Studio. Ultimately, NI Switch Executive accelerates development time and simplifies switch system maintenance, thus lowering your cost to test.

Accelerated Switch System Development NI Switch Executive accelerates switch system development with its intuitive configuration environment in which you can create NI Switch Executive “virtual devices.” If you are familiar with performing data acquisition measurements using Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX), creating virtual devices is similar to creating virtual channels. You use the NI Switch Executive virtual device configurations to combine a variety of IVI-compliant NI and third-party switches to create a single virtual switch device. Once you have defined the switching hardware as a virtual switch device, you can specify additional properties of the switching system. These properties for each switch device include: Desired channels Hardwires Routes Route groups Physical attributes The physical attributes include: Wire mode Bandwidth Impedance Settling time Maximum voltage Carrying current Carrying power Using NI Switch Executive, you can store the physical attributes associated with each switch configuration and intelligently use the information to help you determine proper switch routes. This helps you protect the large investment in switch hardware from being overdriven or routing a high-frequency signal across a low-frequency switch device. The NI Switch Executive accelerated application configuration environment also includes tools for configuring the channels used in complex switching systems. With this, you can create alias names and add unique comments for each channel, greatly simplifying the maintenance of hundreds or thousands of switch channels in large switch systems because you can refer to a channel as “DMM” or “Scope” instead of “c0” or “c2.” You can also take advantage of the channel alias feature when using multiple switch devices. Traditionally switch systems with multiple switches had multiple channels of the same name, such as “c0” or “c2,” on each switch device representing completely different inputs or outputs. With NI Switch Executive, you can assign different names to these channels. In the channel mode, you can also configure each channel in your switch system as normal, configuration, or source to ensure proper validation of the final switch configuration. Normal mode indicates a typical channel in a switch system; configuration mode specifies that the channel is used as a path to connect two normal channels; and the source mode is allocated for channels providing an input voltage or current. Figure 1 demonstrates how you can quickly configure your channels using the in-place channel alias editing feature included in the Graphical Configuration Utility.
