NI Engineering Lab Virtual Instrumentation Suite(NI ELVIS) II is a modular engineering teaching lab platform developed specifically for institutions. The platform provides a hands-on learning approach that helps students acquire the skills they need through hands-on experimentation.NI ELVIS II integrates 12 of the lab's most common instruments in a single compact package, including oscilloscopes with extended functionality, a digital multimeter, a function generator, and a variety of power supplies and baud analyzers. You can connect your PC to a variety of measurements and build circuits on a removable prototyping board via USB's plug-and-play capability.
