Mentor Graphics develops SystemVision
SVX Client for NI LabVIEW software
Mentor Graphics Corporation has entered into a collaborative
effort with National Instruments to develop the new SystemVision
SVX Client environment for the NI LabVIEW software. The
SystemVision SVX environment provides a virtual prototyping
of the entire system, while the LabVIEW software implements
test program development and execution.
"Unlike the traditional design, simulation, and test
sequential process, the combination of SystemVision SVX
with LabVIEW provides for continuous product test program
development much earlier in the development cycle, which
provides a traceability that is particularly appealing in
businesses with high levels of required certification,"
said John Pasquarette, vice president of Software Product
Marketing at National Instruments. "We are pleased
that a case study of this approach will be presented by
a major implantable medical electronics company at the upcoming
NIWeek 2010 graphical system design conference."
"The SystemVision SVX environment allows designers
to create a precise virtual prototype based upon the product's
specifications," said Serge Leef, vice president, System-Level
Engineering Division, Mentor Graphics. "This allows
the test bench to be developed simultaneously with product
development, providing earlier test feedback into the design
process, and greatly shortening design cycles by making
development and test parallel rather than serial. The result
is significantly faster time to market and time to certification.
