Real Time Control & Data Logging

Real Time Control & Data Logging – Simplified, Scalable, and No Code

Modern test and automation environments demand more than just fast data capture, they require intelligent control, reliable logging, and actionable insight in real time. That’s exactly where our latest real time control and data logging capabilities shine.

We’re excited to share how our no code platform is evolving rapidly, and to announce that we’re partnering with NI to showcase these advancements. A dedicated webinar, to be recorded this February at NI, will walk through real world use cases and demonstrate what’s now possible without writing a single line of code.

Built for Real Time Test – Without the Complexity

Traditional control systems often require custom software, long development cycles, and deep programming expertise. Our approach with NI hardware flips that model on its head.

With built in real time control capabilities executed directly on the NI CompactRIO, users can configure, deploy, and manage control logic using an intuitive, no code interface. This allows engineers and test teams to focus on system behavior and results, not software maintenance.

Whether you’re running a lab setup or a distributed test environment, the system scales naturally as your needs grow.

Simple Sequencing that just Works

At the core of the platform is a simple, powerful sequencer designed for real world test workflows. Users can define step by step logic, conditional actions, and timing behavior without scripting or external tools.

This makes it easy to:

• Configure test sequences
• Coordinate control actions with data capture
• Adapt sequences quickly as requirements change

The result is faster setup, fewer errors, and significantly reduced time to deployment.

Headless Data Logging is still at the Core

One of the most important areas of development remains headless data logging. The platform now supports more flexible unattended operations, ideal for long running tests, remote systems, and production environments.

Headless logging continues to deliver superior value with:

• Reliable data capture without a user interface
• Continuous operation across days or weeks
• Lightweight deployment on NI RT CompactRIO targets

This makes it easier than ever to collect high quality data wherever your system operates.

Smarter Notifications, Automated Emails, and Daily Summaries

Data is only valuable if the right people see it at the right time. The platform’s automation tools have greatly progressed, especially around notifications and reporting.

Users can now easily configure:

• Automated emails based on test events
• Daily summaries with key metrics
• Urgent notifications when limits or conditions are exceeded

All of these features ship as examples that can be modified to help teams respond faster and stay informed, even when systems are running unattended.

Integrated Post Processing with Python

For deeper analysis, post‑processing is fully integrated with Python, giving teams access to a powerful and familiar data science ecosystem.

This enables:

• Automated analysis workflows
• Custom calculations and filtering
• Advanced visualization and reporting

By combining no code configuration with Python based post processing, teams get both simplicity and flexibility in a single solution.

Compatible Hardware from Testforce

To support fast deployment, validated hardware options are available through Testforce, including the Testforce part number: NOW‑RIO‑TF01.

This ensures compatibility, reliability, and a streamlined procurement process for teams building NI based control and logging systems.
