Overview of Structural Health Monitoring Solutions New!
The testing and monitoring of structures in operation in the field presents unique challenges for traditional data acquisition and data-logging devices. Whether used as a portable structural testing system for structural diagnostic studies, or installed permanently for monitoring long-term performance and health, National Instruments measurement systems deliver a unique combination of performance, reliability, and versatility for structural engineers needing to develop and deploy SHM solutions.

Structural and Seismic Monitoring and Testing New!
Around the world, researchers are innovating ways to improve monitoring, recording, and communicating the health of our global civil infrastructure. While the need is to instrument bridges, dams, buildings, stadiums, and more through deployed measurement systems, many of the systems that are deployed to the field are first prototyped in the lab. National Instruments provides modular measurement hardware and flexible monitoring software ideal for structural and civil engineering research, providing fast time to measurement; channel expandability; world trusted measurement accuracy; and powerful design, analysis, and data management software.

Build versus Buy - Understanding the Total Cost of Embedded Design New!
When developing an embedded device, deciding which technology to implement as the system¡¯s primary controller is one of the first key engineering milestones. In addition to considering processor architectures, operating system capabilities, and other components, you must decide which portion of the system to design and which portion to buy off the shelf. By designing and building a custom controller, you can completely customize the end solution and optimize costs, but any design specification changes or oversights can cause lengthy and expensive delays.
