Virtual Instrumentation and the Design Flow
Electronics designers are always looking for ways to improve efficiency in both design and process. Efficient designs can have faster clock speeds, reduced electromagnetic radiation, and fewer components. Efficient processes can mean faster times to market, lower overall cost of development, and fewer prototypes because of fewer design errors.

Electronics Workbench and National Instruments work together to make the design process much more efficient. By integrating simulation with virtual instrumentation, designers can quickly compare their measurements with expected results. Virtual instrumentation unleashes the power of an ordinary computer, by turning it into a versatile test and measurement platform.

Numerical Mathematics Consortium Updates Open Standard for Algorithm Development
The Numerical Mathematics Consortium recently announced the latest revision to a technical specification introduced earlier this year that defines an open mathematics semantics standard for numerical algorithm development. This update includes newly ratified functions from classes that include polynomials and vector analysis. In addition to the new function definitions, the consortium resolved significant technical issues that simplify ratification of new functions.
