Key differentiators

Recommended for manual data logging and monitoring with NI data acquisition (DAQ) hardware.

 

Includes standard FlexLogger capabilities:

  • Configure and validate DAQ measurements
  • Log data to standard formats
  • Monitor tests with configurable dashboards
  • Visually inspect logged data

Recommended for applications that require more complete validation capabilities or additional I/O.

 

Includes FlexLogger Lite capabilities plus:

  • Automated testing and control
  • Custom measurements
  • Automotive signals
  • Scaling to multiple chassis

Recommended for engineers building full test and validation systems where modular code development and higher-level frameworks are needed to accelerate development for shorter time to market.

 

Includes FlexLogger Professional capabilities plus:

  • NI LabVIEW for creating plugins or custom automated test and measurement applications
  • NI TestStand test executor for creating and editing test sequences, and creating deployable test systems​ 
  • NI DIAdem for automating and quickly visualizing, processing, and reporting on test data
  • NI InstrumentStudio for interactive PXI measurements
