I do agree with them -- to a point.
My reservation is this. By calling SI a subset of VI they seem to
imply that a VI solution (e.g. LabView) has SI totally
covered. This seems to be what some people call "greedy reductionism".
The disparaging words "just" or "nothing more" are implied. Humans are
just animals; Synthetic is just Virtual. They make it
sound as if there was nothing more to humans than just a bunch
of animal instincts, or nothing more to synthetic instruments than
just a kind of VI. (Some people may think consciousness itself
is just a computer program, and thereby also nothing more than a
subset of VI, but my examples digress.)
My reply to this greedy reduction would be that steak is just a subset
of food, but that doesn't mean you can buy a good fillet mignon at a
greasy spoon diner. SI may be a subset of VI, but that doesn't
instantly allow you to conclude that LabView (or any other generic VI
tool) does a good job of assisting the implementation of the
specialized subset that is SI. Quite the contrary. One would expect
that a more specialized tool, focused on the subset in question, to do
a better job than a general purpose tool. You can usually get a better
steak at a steakhouse (not that there's anything wrong with the T-bones
they sell at Waffle House).
If the generality of interfaces to measurement specific hardware was
removed from the VI developer's toolkit, restricting their options,
then the developer would have no choice but to work within the narrow
SI concept. Add a rich enough pallete of measurement abstractions and
the resulting real-world measurements synthesized would have a much
better chance of being hardware abstract, and not bound to particular
natural hardware instruments. This would lead us, in turn, to synthetic
measurements that are not shackled to legacy hardware, realizing the
end goal of the synthetic instrument approach.
There will be kicking and screaming, of course. Developers who are
accustomed to all the freedom that a LabView or a Simulink bring them
might balk at accepting a more restricted development
environment. Does anybody remember when MS-DOS and Win3.1 was the
standard and developers kicked and screamed about the restrictions
that Windows NT would impose on them? They wanted the freedom to write
software that interacted directly with hardware. They didn't want no
stinkin' OS standing in their way. But customers wanted a computer
that didn't crash. The only way to get that was hardware abstraction.
In the end, after the debacle that was WinME, even the developers realized
the error of their old way.
Measurement software technology is at the same sort of juncture. We
would love to keep the generality and freedom of the general purpose
Virtual Instrument tools, but ATE customers are fed up with losing
their software IP investment when the hardware goes obsolete. They
want a way to keep their measurement IP forever, even though the
hardware gets updated periodically. Synthetic Instruments are the
proper subset that reaches this goal.
