AUSTIN, Texas (Jan. 20, 2026) – Emerson is expanding access to its field-proven NI PXI test platform with new high-performance hardware at a more affordable price point. These additions are designed to make it easier for more engineering teams to adopt scalable, low-cost automated test systems without compromising precision or reliability for AI-enhanced workflows.

Emerson announced the company’s Nigel AI Advisor is now enabled in its flagship test software and the launch of a new edition of its NI SystemLink software platform.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Today at the annual NI Connect conference, Emerson announced hardware and software enhancements to its portfolio that address complexity in test applications.

Chicago, Illinois. Newark will now carry NI’s LabVIEW+ Suite that includes LabVIEW plus, TestStand, DIAdem, and FlexLogger. The software bundle contains tools for test, analysis, and measurement. Newark Vice President, Global Product & Supplier Management, Lee Turner, said, “The LabVIEW+ Suite can help development engineers make faster decisions, prototype more efficiently, and validate their work with greater ease. With its ability to deliver a wealth of usable data, this suite is a valuable asset for any engineer looking to streamline their workflow."

Most of us are familiar with obstacles and complications that have arisen alongside working remotely. While the transition was easier for some than others, developers faced unique challenges in their work, especially when it comes to viewing and collaborating on projects away from a centralized location.

On the last episode of Embedded Toolbox, David Prida, solutions marketer at NI, demonstrated how you can use NI’s LabVIEW graphical programming tool to quickly and easily create a temperature measurement workflow. This week, the saga continues with an added bonus: Python!
