How do I know when it's time to sell my National Instruments equipment?

Testing is a crucial first step for any big project- but the scope and scale of your testing might necessitate a substantial investment in labor and test tools. Projects involving test equipment often use specialized test rigs, hardware, software, and testing frameworks. However, once the project is completed, not all of the equipment is able to be used in other projects. This unnecessary test equipment often ends up gathering dust- stored in a room or forgotten in a closet.

Maybe you are part of a team that is updating your legacy NI hardware to the newest models and giving your system a complete refresh. Where will all of these obsolete test equipment modules end up?

The answer is simple. Sell them to Apex Waves! Simply send us a list of your surplus equipment and we'll contact you with our offer.
