Simulation can provide a lot of information about what the system is doing. We canadd the effect of different element, like Encoder resolution, ADC sampling rate, etc and understand how does it affect the system. Another benefit is the possibility to slow down the process, to gain insight on what happens of fast systems or, vice versa, speed up slow process.
Because National Instruments is a unique company in the fact the we provide a fullhardware solution couple with a full development platform, we can use this tools in very particular ways For example, it is possible to combine the LabVIEW Control Design and Simulation Module along with the FPGA module to quickly prototype a controller. One of the main benefits of this approach is that there is no need to compile the FPGA code, which allows for a quick algorithm design turnaround and debugging.
