National Instruments has announced the release of the NI USB-5132/5133 digitisers and the NI USB-4065 6½-digit digital multimeter (DMM). These small, lightweight instruments feature bus-powered and plug-and-play operation, which makes them ideal for portable, benchtop and OEM applications. They are also shipped with NI LabVIEW SignalExpress LE interactive measurement workbench software for quickly acquiring, analysing and presenting data with no programming required.
The USB-5132/5133 50 MSps and 100 MSps digitisers offer two simultaneously sampled channels with 8-bit resolution. These USB digitisers feature 10 input ranges from 40 mV to 40 V and programmable DC offset, and come standard with 4 MB per channel of onboard memory for measurements requiring extended data captures.
The USB-4065 offers 6½ digits of resolution at up to 10 readings per second and up to 3000 readings per second at lower resolutions. With ±300 V of isolation, current measurements up to 3 A and 2- or 4-wire resistance measurements, it represents a complete multimeter solution for portable 6½-digit measurement needs.
Each of these instruments includes its own soft front panel, which provides an interactive, familiar interface to get up and running quickly. For data-logging applications, engineers can easily combine the instruments with LabVIEW SignalExpress measurement software.
