National Instruments, the provider of a software-defined platform that helps accelerate the development and performance of automated test and automated measurement systems, announced the new version of SystemLink software.

NI realizes that managing configuration activities and data for a fleet of distributed test and measurement systems can be daunting, especially when systems incorporate a variety of device configurations and software combinations. With the increasing number of distributed systems and the exponential growth of data, engineering teams must manage the disparities across these systems.
