National Instruments


ViAcoustics  uses National Instruments Digital Signal Analyzers and data acquisition hardware in all of its acoustic measurement systems.  All Nelson Acoustics applications are developed using the LabView programming language and then compiled to executable programs.  The National Instruments Sound and Vibration Toolset provides the IEC/ANSI compliant proportional octave band filtering used in most Nelson Acoustics software applications.

For more than 25 years, National Instruments has revolutionized the way scientists and engineers work by leveraging the personal computer and its related technologies. Around the world, National Instruments is changing the way measurements are made by providing the software, hardware, and technologies necessary to transform personal computers into powerful computer-based and networked measurement and automation systems.
