再评NXG低调退出市场
简仪上周四(12月10日)向业界转发了NI公司LabVIEW NXG将停止发布的信息之后,NI中国本周一迅速翻译并发布了11月23日NI总部在社区发布的原文。
有网友反映:
也有群众反映:
正本清源,我们一起阅读此文体会下感受吧。
乍看上方NI标题,你会觉得这是一篇LabVIEW的宣传文章。
在标题盛行的当下,大部分读者会一掠而过,结束;
粉丝们也许会点赞而过。
假如我们继续读下去。
第一段:再度强调软件的重要性,同意。
第二段:开始介绍NXG带来的众多好处,继续宣传,理解。
第三段:用户给了NXG很多好评,棒!
但笔锋一转说有一些用户有迁移的担忧,NI解决了一些问题,挺实事求是的。NI说“但我们同意您的担心,我们希望能帮助您专注于未来的测试和测量需求”。什么意思?还是宣传吗?褒义还是贬义的?不懂。
第四段:4.1把NXG的功能并入LabVIEW,好啊,对我没有影响。(But...和上句有嘛关联?)
4.2:继续推进NXG的组合工作,赞!还是没看出关联;
4.3:2022年开始停止NXG的更新!Boom!不会吧!
宣传了三年多,有这么多优点,面对一些用户的担忧,就停了?
第五、六段强调上一段的工作对用户更有利,更节省资源等。又有嘛联系啊?
NI在NXG投资巨大,2017年5月隆重推出。停止NXG的更新无论如何在常人眼里都是一个市场的败笔。市场里胜负常见,但能够用上述的方法通知客户,把市场的败笔以如此正面的语气展示在世人眼前也真是“另类表述”。简仪说NXG低调离场没有过多的夸张吧?
美国政坛近来盛行“另类事实(Alternative Facts)”,把黑的说成白的。
看来我们在测试测量行业也要学习“另类表述(Alternative Description)”啊。
简仪使命
尊重事实,讲道理、真实表述是科学的根本,更是测试测量的根本。简仪将保持这一初心与市场互动,说听得懂的话,做做得到的事,脚踏实地以开源软件为基础改变模块仪器的市场格局!

Software is acritical differentiator for NI. But software at NI doesn’t represent just a set of products that contribute to our offerings. Our software portfolio connects our entire platform and provides capabilities that set our solutions apart.
软件对于NI是极其重要的差异化要素。NI的软件不仅仅是构成一系列方案的一款产品。NI的软件组合连接了我们整个平台,并让我们的解决方案与众不同。
LabVIEW is a vital part of our expanding software portfolio. To build on the success of LabVIEW, we developed the NXG Platform which has enabled an entirely new set of offerings such as the NXG Web Module, SystemDesigner, FlexLogger, InstrumentStudio, VeriStand,and Digital Pattern Editor. You’ve told us there’s tremendous value in these NXG-based solutions, and we agree.
LabVIEW是我们不断扩展的软件产品组合的重要组成部分。在LabVIEW成功的基础上,我们开发了NXG平台、并在这一平台上发开了一套全新的解决方案,例如NXG Web Module,System Designer,FlexLogger,InstrumentStudio,VeriStand和Digital Pattern Editor。您说这些基于NXG的解决方案具有巨大的价值,我们深表赞同。
We also built a new product, LabVIEW NXG, based on the NXG Platform. While your feedback has been positive and there’s been excitement about what you’re seeing in LabVIEW NXG, you’ve also shared with us some of your concerns around migrating to an entirely new LabVIEW product. And although we’ve mitigated some of these issues, we agreeand want to empower you to focus on addressing your future test and measurement needs.
我们还基于NXG平台构建了一个全新的产品LabVIEW NXG。尽管您给予了积极的反馈,并且在LabVIEW NXG中看到了令您兴奋的内容;然而,您也表达了迁移到全新LabVIEW产品的担忧。尽管已经解决了其中的一些问题,但我们同意您的担心,我们希望能帮助您专注于未来的测试和测量需求。
That’s why we’ve decided to take the following steps:
因此,我们决定采取以下步骤:
1. We will integrate the strengths of the NXG platform into our LabVIEW 2021(+) codebase, which will result in the best of both worlds. This means centralizing our investments in LabVIEW in a way that enables us to deliver even more value to LabVIEW users in the years ahead.
我们将把NXG平台的优势集成到LabVIEW 2021(+)代码库中,这将成就LabVIEW和NXG平台的两全其美。这意味着我们能对LabVIEW进行集中投资,使我们在未来几年中为LabVIEW用户提供更多的价值。
2. We will continue to advance our NXG-based portfolio of solutions such as the NXG Web Module, SystemDesigner, as well as our expanding suite of configuration-based products such as FlexLogger and VeriStand.
As part of this commitment, you can expect to see the NXG Web Module and SystemDesigner integrated into other parts of our portfolio.
我们将继续推进基于NXG的方案组合,例如NXG Web Module, SystemDesigner, 以及我们不断扩展的基于配置的产品套件,例如FlexLogger和VeriStand。作为此承诺的一部分,您可以期望看到NXG Web Module和SystemDesigner会集成到我们产品组合的其他部分中。
3. We will cease development efforts on LabVIEW NXG and release the final version - LabVIEW NXG 5.1 – in 2021. We will not release new versions of LabVIEW NXG starting in 2022.
我们将停止LabVIEW NXG的开发工作,并在2021年发布最终版本LabVIEW NXG 5.1。从2022年开始我们将不再发布新版本的LabVIEW NXG。
Our teams are working on these projects today as well as the significant new investments we’re making across our entire software portfolio,including in Product Analytics and Test Operations.
Collectively, our ongoing investments in this well-rounded portfolio give us a unique ability to create a digital thread that follows a product across the development flow and through its entire life cycle. This allows us to provide new value to you at an even larger scale- like reducing overall time to market, significantly lowering operational costs and helping you address pervasive product and performance issues before they impact your customers.
目前,我们的团队正在研究这些项目,以及我们在整个软件产品组合(包括产品分析和测试运营)中正在做的重大新投资。总的来说,我们对这个全面的产品组合的持续投资使我们拥有独特的能力来创建数字线程,该数字线程可以在整个产品开发流程中、以及整个生命周期内跟踪产品。这使我们能够在更大的范畴里为您提供新的价值-诸如缩短产品整体上市时间、显著降低运营成本、并在影响您的客户之前助您解决产品和性能的普遍性问题。
The steps we’re sharing today – the long-term commitment we are making to LabVIEW as well as our ongoing investments in configuration-based software, Product Analytics and Test Operations –will bolster our software capabilities and better support you.
They are aligned to our software strategy and our commitment to providing all of our customers and partners with the most innovative and powerful software in the Test and Measurement industry.
我们今天分享的步骤-我们对LabVIEW的长期承诺以及我们对基于配置的软件、产品分析和测试操作的持续投资,这些都将增强我们的软件能力并为您提供更好的支持。它们符合我们的软件战略以及我们向所有客户和合作伙伴的承诺-提供测试和测量行业中最具创新力和功能最强大的软件。
