Digitisers and DMM expand USB modules

Compact lightweight instruments are ideal for portable, benchtop and OEM applications.

National Instruments has released three new small, lightweight instruments that feature bus-powered and plug-and-play operation, making them ideal for portable, benchtop and OEM applications.

The NI USB-5132/5133 digitisers and the NI USB-4065 6.5-digit digital multimeter (DMM) are shipped with NI LabView SignalExpress LE, an interactive measurement workbench for quickly acquiring, analysing and presenting data, with no programming required.

The USB-5132/5133 50 and 100Msample/s digitisers offer two simultaneously sampled channels with 8bit resolution.

These USB digitisers feature 10 input ranges from 40mV to 40V and programmable DC offset, and come standard with 4Mbyte per channel of onboard memory for measurements requiring extended data captures.

The USB-4065 DMM offers 6.5 digits of resolution at up to 10 readings per second and up to 3000 readings per second at lower resolutions.

With +/-300V of isolation, current measurements up to 3A and two- or four-wire resistance measurements, the USB-4065 offers a complete multimeter solution for portable 6.5-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 USB-5132/5133 digitisers or the USB-4065 6.5-digit DMM with LabView SignalExpress measurement software.

Together, this intuitive software and the bus-powered architecture of these new instruments are extending the ease of use and performance of portable measurements.
