Data acquisition prices reduced by up to 25% worldwide

Data Acquisition & Telemetry
Measurement technology pioneer, National Instruments, recently announced a price reduction of up to 25% for 13 of its most popular data acquisition modules, a development that continues the company's 26-year history of reducing the total cost of measurement and control for engineers and scientists. The price reduction applies to all regions of the world for NI data acquisition devices ranging from 200 000 S/s to 1,25 million S/s, 12 to 16-bit resolution and 16 to 64 analog inputs.
By using commercial PC-based technologies and investing in innovative research and development, NI data acquisition cost per I/O channel has decreased by 74% since 1990. Most recently, NI has taken advantage of low-cost, off-the-shelf technologies and significant increases in manufacturing efficiency to pass additional savings on to customers.
"With this price reduction, NI continues to focus on setting the price-performance standard for data acquisition," said Alex Davern, NI CFO and senior vice president of manufacturing. "High volumes of our core NI data acquisition chipsets, continuous-flow manufacturing practices and worldwide expansion have delivered a significant improvement in overall efficiency for NI."
Engineers and scientists can reduce their total cost of measurement through innovative NI software technologies. For example, the new NI-DAQmx measurement services software lowers application development costs by substantially reducing the time-costs of software development, system set-up, configuration, maintenance and calibration.
"A recent NI survey of data acquisition customers and prospects found that approximately two-thirds of the total cost of measurement comes from additional development time costs that are not included in original purchase prices," said John Hanks, director of measurements for NI. "Through plug-and-play data acquisition hardware and time-saving software technologies in NI-DAQmx, such as the DAQ Assistant and automatic code generation feature for NI LabVIEW and Microsoft Visual Studio, users can drive down the hidden costs in their test, measurement and control systems."
With these new prices, NI continues to offer a complete low-cost, measurement-ready data acquisition solution with superior accuracy, reliability, software productivity and support. As a leader for data acquisition in measurement and control, NI is committed to developing state-of-the-art data acquisition technology and passing savings on to customers.
