Eight New National Instruments USB 2.0 Devices Deliver High-Speed Data Acquisition, Interactive Driver Software.AUSTIN, Texas -- National Instruments National Instruments, or NI (NASDAQ: NATI), is an American company with over 4,000 employees and direct operations in 41 countries founded in 1976 by Dr. James Truchard, Bill Nowlin and Jeff Kodosky. (Nasdaq:NATI NATI National Association of Teen Institutes NATI Newfoundland Association of Technical Industries ) today expanded its USB-9000 series of industry-leading, high-performance USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. data acquisition (DAQ See data acquisition. ) 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 (tool) Microsoft Excel - A spreadsheet program from Microsoft, part of their Microsoft Office suite of productivity tools for Microsoft Windows and Macintosh. Excel is probably the most widely used spreadsheet in the world. Latest version: Excel 97, as of 1997-01-14. . 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 data logger - data logging 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 Refers to hardware interfaces that accept non-digital signals. For decades, all the plugs and sockets on traditional audio and video equipment connected analog lines (see illustration below). 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 For more information on all National Instruments USB DAQ products, readers can visit www.ni.com/usb.
