Standalone CompactDAQ platform
19 September 2012
Test & Measurement
National Instruments recently announced the new standalone CompactDAQ system, a high-performance embedded measurement and logging platform with a built-in dual-core Intel processor for running data acquisition, online analysis and logging software.
With the new platform, engineers can customise a complete measurement system using LabVIEW, or take advantage of over 600 companies in the NI Alliance Partner Network for a custom turnkey data-logging solution.
The system features an Intel Core i7 dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM and 32 GB non-volatile storage, providing the ability to run high-performance, mixed-measurement tests while logging data directly to the system, obviating the need for an external PC.
The standalone CompactDAQ system has an 8-slot chassis and allows customers to mix and match a variety of I/O and sensor types, including AI, AO, DIO and CAN (50 C series I/O modules in total are available) to create custom measurement and logging systems.
Users can connect USB/Ethernet CompactDAQ devices, including the new cDAQ-9184 Ethernet chassis, to expand the number of module slots for large-channel-count applications or integrate other devices, such as a camera or GPS device.
The system can stream data to disk at up to 30 MBps, enabling simultaneous streaming of continuous measurements with sample rates up to 1 MSps/ch.
