DAQ devices faster and more accurate
9 February 2005
Test & Measurement
National Instruments' next generation of multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) products are based on the newly designed NI-STC 2 system controller chip and NI-PGIA 2 amplifier technology. The devices are said to offer breakthroughs in accuracy as well as faster sampling rates, more I/O channels and a broad set of expanded features previously not available in multifunction DAQ devices.
The new M Series devices not only lower the cost per I/O channel, says NI, but they also reduce overall system costs by minimising set-up time through advanced development tools included in NI-DAQmx measurement services driver software. These 20 devices address low-cost, high-performance and high-accuracy applications (see table below).
M Series multifunction DAQ devices deliver an extensive set of features that makes them ideal for test, control and sensor measurement applications. They offer up to 32 18-bit analog input channels, four 16-bit analog outputs, two 32-bit counter/timers and 48 digital I/O lines.
Each M Series device includes the latest version of NI-DAQmx measurement services driver software, a flexible programming interface for NI LabVIEW, Visual Studio .NET and NI LabWindows/CVI.
