“Synergy means behavior of whole system unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately.”
-R. Buckminster Fuller.
A functional mode or personality component of a synthetic measurement system that perform a specific synthetic or analysis function using specific software running on generic, non specific physical hardware.
A synthetic instrument is a software that runs on a synthetic measurement system to perform a specific synthesis,analysis or measurement function.The process which undergoes this is said to be “Synthetic Instrumentation”.
The term synthetic instrumentation was coined by the U.S.Department of Defense’s Next generation automatic Test systems(NxTest)Integrated product team to describe a new test architecture that would support the charter of its group.In April 2002,the DOD Automatic Test Systems (ATS) executive agent office formally chartered the NxTest IPT – made up representatives from the air force,army,marine corps and navy-with two main goals: to reduce the total acquisition and support costs of DOD ATS and to improve the inter-and intraoperability of the armed services ATS functions.NxTest IPT has undertaken a number of important initiatives.Among those initiatives is the conceptualization of an architectural approach to test system design and implementation that is now referred to as synthetic instrumentation.
