With sampling rates up to 800kS/s, these devices offer the fastest data acquisition speeds currently available for USB and also simplify system setup and programming
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 high speed Daq devices.
With sampling rates up to 800kS/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, says NI.
In addition, the new devices include free interactive datalogging 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 250Vrms 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 £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 following:.
USB-9211A - four channel, 24-bit thermocouple input module.
USB-9215A - four channel, 16-bit simultaneous-sampling analogue input at 100kS/s per channel.
USB-9201 - eight channel, 12-bit analogue voltage input at 500kS/s.
USB-9221 - eight channel, 12-bit high-voltage analogue input at 800kS/s.
USB-9233 - four channel, 24-bit IEPE analogue input module.
USB-9421 - eight channel, 24V digital input module.
USB-9472 - eight channel, 24V digital output module.
USB-9481 - four channel, high-current/high-voltage relay module.
