Emerson has released an updated version of NI Nigel AI technology for its NI LabVIEW+ Suite. This iteration of Nigel AI introduces code completion and contextual awareness of test projects and local hardware to further accelerate test development. Nigel AI is available through the LabVIEW+ Suite, a complete set of purpose-built tools created to aid test engineers with built-in expertise at their fingertips.

Nigel AI now has a code completion feature that suggests several next-step options during development, helping engineers select the best choice for their workflow while saving programing time. Nigel AI also gains contextual awareness of NI LabVIEW projects, and the ability to review NI TestStand sequences and access local hardware, giving engineers context-rich support that can accelerate development and improve accuracy.

Additional features in this release of LabVIEW+ Suite include:

• Modern user interfaces using new web technologies in LabVIEW and TestStand.
• Improved debugging workflows in LabVIEW with better source code control integration.
• Containerization through Docker Desktop support for Windows, improving CI/CD pipelines.

“We recognize that the role of an engineer is far more than just programming,” said Rudy Sengupta, VP and General Manager, NI Test and Analytics Software. “That’s why we created the LabVIEW+ Suite, to serve test professionals in a more comprehensive and intuitive way. The suite lets engineers carry context, configurations and data with them as they switch from task to task, saving significant time and empowering them to focus on the most valuable parts of their role.”
