USB Devices Offer Portable Data Acquisition

The NI DAQPad-6015 and NI DAQPad-6016 add 16-bit accuracy to the NI USB multifunction DA product line and increase the maximum sampling rate of the product line to 200 kS/s for a single channel. Both devices offer built-in screw terminal connectivity, eliminating the need to purchase a cable and terminal block.

The NI USB-9211 and 9215 deliver integrated signal conditioning and are the first in a series of single-function USB DAQ devices. The USB-9211 is a four-channel, 24-bit, highly accurate thermocouple measurement device that includes built-in screw terminal connectivity. The USB-9215 is a four-channel, 16-bit, simultaneous sampling analog input device that accurately measures multiple signals with minimal phase delay. Both devices ship with free ready-to-run data-logging software so engineers can begin gathering data immediately.

The SCXI-1600 DAQ module delivers plug-and-play USB connectivity to 40 measurement modules within the NI SCXI signal-conditioning platform. Engineers now can create high-channel-count sensor measurement systems without the extra cost and setup time of connecting an NI DAQ device and cable to the SCXI signal conditioning hardware. Because the NI DAQ device is integrated into the SCXI-1600 module, the user needs only to connect to a computer with a single cable.

Pricing begins at $395. More details are available on the National instruments website.
