Functional Features:

  • Simultaneous sampling across all channels (multiplexer-free architecture)
  • Programmable input range per channel group
  • Onboard signal conditioning — no external amplifier needed for low-level signals
  • Hardware-timed acquisition for precise synchronization
  • NI-DAQmx driver support for all major programming environments
  • Compact form factor for portable and benchtop use

Working Principle:
Each channel uses a delta-sigma ADC with a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The multiplexer-free design means each channel has its own sample-and-hold circuit, enabling true simultaneous sampling. Data is transferred via USB 2.0 high-speed to the host PC, where NI-DAQmx handles buffer management and trigger logic.

Advantages:

  • True simultaneous sampling — critical for phase-sensitive measurements
  • BNC connectors — standard, reliable, no screw terminals
  • USB-powered — no external power supply required
  • 16-bit resolution — high accuracy for precision measurements

Applicable Industries:
Automotive testing, aerospace test & measurement, structural monitoring, environmental monitoring, research laboratories, educational institutions

Installation Requirements:

  • Connect via USB 2.0 port (USB 3.0 port compatible, uses USB 2.0 speed)
  • Use shielded BNC cables for noise-sensitive measurements
  • Install NI-DAQmx driver (version 19.0 or later recommended)
  • Ground the device chassis to measurement system ground

Usage Notes:

  • Do not exceed ±11V on any input — this will damage the device
  • Use differential mode for noisy environments (improves CMRR)
  • Maximum cable length: 2 meters for high-accuracy measurements
  • Update firmware via NI MAX (Measurement & Automation Explorer)
