Test Dynamics has been appointed to provide continued representation of the National Instruments brand following a decision by National Instruments to pursue a distribution model in southern Africa.

Stephen Plumb, sales manager, Test Dynamics.

According to sales manager, Stephen Plumb, this distribution model has been successfully rolled out in multiple territories around the globe as National Instruments seeks to divest from sales expenses and channel more resources into R&D. He explains that the renewed focus on military/aerospace, 5G and academic research puts Test Dynamics in a strong positon to expand the advantages that National Instruments software-defined platforms offer in these areas.

“With LabVIEW having just passed the 33 year mark, no other company has the depth of experience in bringing software-defined instrumentation to market. The synthesis of high quality digitising hardware, together with software, has been the essence of the National Instruments approach since its inception and more recently this philosophy has been driven even closer to the hardware with open architecture digitisers and FPGA-based platforms that have provided users with firmware level access to customise their instruments to very particular requirements,” explains Plumb. “We can also offer training on the platforms to ensure that our customers are able to make the best use of the tools. Some customers prefer to have a turnkey solution, so we will continue to work with the National Instruments Alliance Partner network to assist customers that do not wish to engineer solutions in-house.”

In addition to the National Instruments products, Test Dynamics also represents a number of globally recognised technology suppliers, including Mac Panel Interconnect, which specialises in mass interconnects for high-density test systems; Quanser, which focuses on teaching and research of controls within the academic space; and Magtrol, which supplies high precision torque transducers.

Another brand to be represented is Micron Optics. “This company has been partnering with National Instruments for fibre optic measurements of strain, temperature and displacement in environments where traditional measurements are not easy due to factors such as high EMC or risk of lightning. They have solutions for both low- and high-speed fibre sensing that are easy to incorporate within the LabVIEW environment to build a mixed measurement system,” says Plumb.
