NI CompactDAQ – NI’s most flexible system for measuring voltage, current, and sensors

Top 7 questions to see if a CompactDAQ system will help you:

1

Do you measure a lot of different sensors?

CompactDAQ has… over 70 measurement modules including some for strain, load, temperature, vibration, sound, torque, rotation, and more.

2

Do your needs change a lot between projects?

CompactDAQ has… hot-swappable modules so you can mix and match measurements with different sized chassis for each project.

3

Do you care about speed?

CompactDAQ has… measurement channels clocked at up to 1,000,000 samples per second.

4

Do you care about synchronized data?

CompactDAQ has… modules in the same chassis run on the same clock.

5

Do you need distributed systems?

CompactDAQ has… synchronization over Ethernet for 1 μS skew between channels with up to 15 hops.

6

Do you need something a little more rugged?

CompactDAQ has… a fanless design and environmental specs of 50g shock, 5g vibration and -40 to 70°C operating temperature (4 and 8 slot chassis).

7

Do you wish your DAQ software was better?

CompactDAQ has… FlexLogger Lite included Free software, or the flexibility to develop your own with LabVIEW, Python or C/C++.
