National Instruments NI Instrument Simulator / v2.0

The NI Instrument Simulator (Part number: 183913C-01) and the NI Instrument Simulator v2.0 (Part Numbers 780212-01, 780212-04, and 198143A-01L) are simulating devices for various instruments developed by National Instruments. The NI Instrument Simulator has dip switches that allow the user to configure the device, while the NI Instrument Simulator v2.0 is configured in software. The Simulator v2.0 also varies in it's power system, with U.S.120VAC (part number 780212-01) or UNIV EURO 240VAC (part number 780212-04). 

Both versions of the Instrument Simulator can be used with LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI. The NI Instrument Simulator renders the latest techniques to grasp the GPIB communication protocol. The NI Instrument Simulator can be utilized with the 488.2SRQ protocol. The NI Instrument Simulator is fully capable of handling commands such as SCPI.

The NI Instrument Simulator is capable of functions like a digital multimeter (DMM) and digital oscilloscope. The NI Instrument Simulator is created so it can be used in the classroom for presentations and teaching. The NI Instrument Simulator can additionally be used for industrial purposes. The NI Instrument Simulator allows VISA to communicate by LabVIEW or LabWindows. The NI Instrument Simulator is developed as an ideal product for debugging as well.

The NI Instrument Simulator can be configured to replace the use of multiple debugging instruments for the GPIB system and saves a lot of time. The NI Instrument Simulator is specially introduced for customer education courses offered by National Instruments. The NI Instrument Simulator is connected to the GPIB interface module through a GPIB cable. The NI Instrument Simulator requires a 9-9 pin or 9-25 pin modem RS-232 cable for connection to the PC COM port. The NI Instrument Simulator is designed to be used with 120 VAC voltage. The NI Instrument Simulator is designed for waveform generation.
