High-performance acquisition runs over USB 2.0

National Instruments has expanded its USB-9000 series of industry-leading, high-performance USB data acquisition devices with the release of eight new USB 2.0 Hi-Speed DAQ devices.

National Instruments has expanded its USB-9000 series of industry-leading, high-performance USB data acquisition (DAQ) devices with the release of eight new USB 2.0 Hi-Speed DAQ devices.

With sampling rates up to 800Ksample/s, these new devices not only offer the fastest data acquisition speeds currently available for USB-compatible data acquisition devices, but they also simplify system setup and programming with powerful measurement services software.

In addition, the new USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices include free interactive data-logging software for analysis that can log data and export it to spreadsheet applications such as Microsoft Excel.

With bus-powered, plug-and-play connectivity, the new devices add to the National Instruments USB-9000 family of high-quality USB DAQ devices, most of which include 250V RMS channel-to-earth ground isolation for safety, noise immunity and high-common-mode voltage range.

By using these devices with the included NI-DAQmx driver software, engineers and scientists can develop applications more efficiently using NI measurement tools for hardware configuration and testing, take advantage of easier application programming with the step-by-step DAQ Assistant, and use automatic code generation and custom channel scaling.

In addition, all NI USB DAQ devices now include free ready-to-run data logger software - valued at GBP 225 - that engineers can use to log and view real-time and historical data and export data to Microsoft Excel.

The new National Instruments USB 2.0 DAQ devices include: the USB-9211A four-channel 24bit thermocouple input module; the USB-9215A four-channel, 16bit simultaneous-sampling analogue input at 100Ksample/s per channel; the USB-9201 eight-channel, 12bit analogue voltage input at 500Ksample/s; the USB-9221 eight-channel, 12bit high-voltage analogue input at 800Ksample/s; the USB-9233 four-channel, 24bit IEPE analogue input module; the USB-9421 eight-channel, 24V digital input module; the USB-9472 eight-channel, 24V digital output module; and the USB-9481 four-channel, high-current/high-voltage relay module.
