Mentor Graphics Collaboration With National Instruments Speeds Time to Market With Faster Test Bench Development

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that
collaborative efforts with National Instruments have resulted in a
solution that provides test-oriented feedback to design teams at
every step of the design process. The new SystemVision™ SVX Client
environment for the NI LabVIEW software allows designers to develop
their test bench against a virtual prototype based upon their
specification, and then use the exact same test bench in the NI
LabVIEW software on physical prototypes. This process allows test
bench development to be done in parallel with system development
and prototyping, speeding time to market and time to certification.
The combined power of the SystemVision SVX multi-discipline
collaboration environment with the NI LabVIEW software, the
industry's leading graphical system design software, allows test
program development to proceed without waiting for physical
prototypes. With this solution, test program developers can not
only deliver ready-to-go product tests, they can also provide
test-oriented feedback to the design teams. 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 is a virtual execution
environment that connects otherwise isolated, domain-specific
modeling and software tools dynamically -- at any phase of the
design process -- over a secure, managed signal channel. Its
client-server architecture provides for precise, distributed,
time-synchronized interfaces between signal generators and
consumers, which are easily placed, as symbols, in graphical tools.
In addition, a C/C++ Application Programming Interface (API) makes
it easy for application embedded software to interact with models
of control systems, multi-physics subsystems, sensors and
actuators, and analog and digital electronics.
"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."
