Maintenance, Test & Measurement, Calibration
National Instruments has expanded its USB-9000 series of 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 800 kS/s, these new devices offer the fastest data acquisition speeds currently available for USB-compatible data acquisition devices and also simplify system setup and programming with powerful measurement services software. These new 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 250 V 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 that engineers can use to log and view realtime and historical data and export data to Microsoft Excel.
The new National Instruments USB 2.0 DAQ devices include:
* USB-9211A: 4 Ch, 24-bit thermocouple input module.
* USB-9215A: 4 Ch, 16-bit simultaneous-sampling analog input at 100 kS/s per channel.
* USB-9201: 8 Ch, 12-bit analog voltage input at 500 kS/s.
* USB-9221: 8 Ch, 12-bit high-voltage analog input at 800 kS/s.
* USB-9233: 4 Ch, 24-bit IEPE analog input module.
* USB-9421: 8 Ch, 24 V digital input module.
* USB-9472: 8 Ch, 24 V digital output module.
* USB-9481: 4 Ch, high-current/high-voltage relay module.
