NI reduces cost of acquiring data

National Instruments has announced that it has taken advantage of low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies and significant increases in manufacturing efficiency to pass savings on to customers. NI says that it is offering a price reduction of up to 25 % for 13 of its most popular data acquisition modules, an offer that applies to all regions of the world for its data acquisition devices that range from 200 000 Sa/s to 1,25 million Sa/s, 12 to 16-bit resolution and 16 to 64 analog inputs.
In addition to taking advantage of these significantly lower data acquisition prices, the company adds that engineers and scientists can reduce their total cost of measurement through innovative NI software technologies. For example, it says, the new NI-DAQmx measurement services software lowers application development costs by substantially reducing the time-costs of software development, system set-up, configuration, maintenance and calibration.
"A recent NI survey of data acquisition customers and prospects found that approximately two-thirds of the total cost of measurement comes from additional development time costs that are not included in original purchase prices," said John Hanks, director of measurements for NI. "Through plug-and-play data acquisition hardware and time-saving software technologies in NI-DAQmx, such as the DAQ Assistant and automatic code generation feature for NI LabVIEW and Microsoft Visual Studio, users can drive down the hidden costs in their test, measurement and control systems."
