What's the difference between virtual instrument and traditional instrument?

Virtual instrument is an instrument with software as its core; Traditional instruments are instruments with hardware as the core; Programming of virtual instrument+computer+signal acquisition device.

Virtual instrument technology is the use of high-performance modular hardware, combined with efficient and flexible software to complete a variety of testing, measurement and automation applications. Since the advent of 1986, engineers and scientists all over the world have used NI LabVIEW graphical development tools in all aspects of product design cycle.

Therefore, the product quality is improved, the time to put the product on the market is shortened, and the product development and production efficiency are improved. Using the signal connection between the integrated virtual instrument environment and the real world, analyzing the data to obtain practical information and enjoying the information results will help to improve the production efficiency on a large scale. The tools provided by virtual instrument can meet the needs of any project.

The overview of the two is different:

1. Overview of virtual instrument: Virtual instrument technology uses high-performance modular hardware combined with efficient and flexible software to complete various test, measurement and automation applications.

2. Overview of traditional instruments: Instruments refer to instruments or devices used for experiment, measurement, observation, inspection and drawing in science and technology. Usually a set of equipment or machines prepared for a specific purpose.

The two have different meanings:

1, the meaning of virtual instrument: Virtual instrument technology is developed on the basis of PC technology, so it completely "inherits" the advantages of the latest commercial technology based on ready-to-use PC technology, including excellent processor and file I/O, allowing you to import data to disk at high speed and conduct complex analysis in real time. In addition, the continuous development of Internet and faster and faster computer network make virtual instrument technology show its more powerful advantages.

2. Significance of traditional musical instruments: Musical instruments are an important force to promote the construction of a harmonious society. Nowadays, problems such as global resource depletion and environmental pollution have become bottlenecks for the healthy development of society; Food safety problems, public emergencies, disease diagnosis and inflammable and explosive dangerous chemicals have brought serious impacts on people's lives. The solution of these main problems can not be separated from advanced detection technology and means.
