The rapid adoption of the PC in the last twenty years has brought about a revolution in research, measuring and automation instrumentation. The invention of virtual equipment, which has many benefits for engineers and scientists who need greater efficiency, precision and performance. Every parameter within the industry or laboratory needs measurement, for measuring those quantities dedicated instruments are more often used. These instruments provide very accurate measurements and are reliable, but they can't be customized. They are considerably useful in industries, but they can not meet the wants of scientists and research workers. The drawbacks of conventional instruments are removed by a virtual instrument. Virtual instrumentation combines sensing and hardware technology to provide versatile and complicated instruments for different control and monitoring applications. On this basis, we discuss various underlying concepts and technologies. The paper covers the general architecture of a virtual instrument, describes the most frequently used tools and platforms. This research work has intended to identify the clusters of embedded systems where the application of virtual instrumentation concept can be used; one can apply the concept of virtual instrumentation for developing different applications of signal and image processing, automotive, mechanics, control and simulation, embedded software designing, microprocessor coding, etc.
