Emerson announced updates to its NI test software portfolio, adding AI-assisted features designed to improve test development efficiency and system integration. The NI Nigel™ AI technology will expand to include prompt-based code generation in LabVIEW+ and broader support across tools such as FlexLogger, InstrumentStudio, TestStand, and SystemLink.
The updates are intended to help engineers develop, validate, and deploy tests more quickly while maintaining visibility into system behavior. Nigel AI is designed for test environments, providing context-aware suggestions across the workflow, from development and code reuse to validation and deployment.
The NI platform combines modular hardware, open software, and a shared data framework to support complex test requirements. Engineers can configure systems to handle a range of signals, manage large data sets, and integrate evolving computing technologies over time.
According to internal testing, AI-assisted workflows reduced some development and troubleshooting tasks from hours or days to minutes. The platform is used in industries including aerospace, semiconductor, and transportation, where reliability, traceability, and performance are critical.
