National Instruments today 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 800 kS/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 250 Vrms 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 $295 – 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:
• 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
