Test and Measurement

Waveform generation, file IO formats, visualization, and performance analysis

Generate waveforms and use quantitative tools to measure system performance. Use graphical utilities such as constellation and eye diagrams to visualize the effects of various impairments and corrections.

Supported file formats to process captured signals include binary baseband signal and NI™ technical data management solution (TDMS) format files. You can read data into tables or timetables by reading TDMS-files individually, or by reading collections of TDMS-files simultaneously.
