SystemLink is aimed at small, medium, and large enterprises across various industries, including test and measurement engineers, quality assurance professionals, lab managers, manufacturing engineers, and research and development teams.

Key Features

Asset, System, and Lab Orchestration: The vendor claims that SystemLink simplifies the tracking, configuration, and scheduling of test and measurement hardware. It aims to maximize test throughput and reduce costs by efficiently managing assets. The centralization of asset management is expected to improve the overall performance of test and measurement workflows.

Data Management and Analysis: SystemLink connects output to a centralized, scalable data pipeline, allowing for faster collection, analysis, and reporting of test and measurement data. The vendor states that it implements automated data pipelines for easier review, storage, and processing of data. It also offers predefined checkpoints to extract insights from test and measurement data.

Maximum Test Throughput and Efficiency: SystemLink aims to maintain a digital record of test and measurement hardware and activities. According to the vendor, it helps identify test improvements through various analysis techniques. It also claims to inform capital expenditures based on the analysis of test data, ultimately improving time-to-insight for better decision-making.

Automated Data Pipeline: With SystemLink, users can set up data mapping and configurations for easy data review, storage, and processing. The vendor states that it implements predefined checkpoints to enable faster extraction of insights. It aims to streamline data collection, analysis, and reporting processes, as well as facilitate efficient utilization of test and measurement output.

Local and Global Standardization: SystemLink allows for the deployment of consistent workflows at the bench, lab, and enterprise level. Users can scale deployment models for local and global standardization. The vendor claims that it ensures consistent processes and procedures across different locations, facilitating collaboration and knowledge sharing across teams and departments.

Good But Not Quite There

We have a test lab with 16 different stations and I work remotely to write and support the automated test software for the lab. We have used NI SystemLink to manage software versioning and updating for the test stations across the lab rather than having to go into each station individually and do upgrades. We also use SystemLink to give engineers and operators the ability to remotely view data from the test stations through a browser.
  • Setup
  • User Interface
  • LabVIEW Integration
  • Licensing
  • Not able to see data from all test stations on one UI
  • Lack of data history
There are definitely scenarios where NI SystemLink will be useful but just didn't work out well for us. I needed to be able to replace an EXE file on a computer with a new EXE to do the upgrades but I was not able to do that through SystemLink. You had to work with packages in order to perform this and I didn't want to revamp my distribution plan. We also didn't need to do any asset management or calibration documentation through SystemLink. I was excited about being able to view data from the test stations through a browser but our engineers need historical data available and everything resets to a live view when you click back to the UI.
  • Availability to monitor multiple test stations remotely
  • Was quick to integrate into existing LabVIEW codebase
  • Ultimately did not justify the licensing cost for the benefit
