Fastest Bus-Powered USB M Series Data Acquisition from NI
Print
NI USB-6212 and USB-6216 devices are available with both screw and mass termination.
NI introduces six new bus-powered M Series data acquisition devices for USB with 400 kS/s analog input, expanded digital capabilities, optional isolation, and flexible connectivity options.
The NI USB-6212 and USB-6216 devices provide 16 channels of 400 kS/s analog inputs and two 250 kS/s analog outputs, both with 16-bit resolution. They are also equipped with two 32-bit counters, 32 bidirectional 5 V TTL digital lines, and optional 60 V CAT I (1,950 VDC/5 s withstand channel-to-bus) isolation for protection against transient voltages, improved noise immunity, and ground-loop removal. NI offers these devices with 68-pin SCSI mass termination, screw termination, or OEM connectivity.
The USB-6212 OEM and USB-6216 OEM are commercial off-the-shelf I/O devices for integration in commercial products and embedded systems. These devices provide 34- and 50-pin IDC connectors for easy PCB mating or for use with widely available ribbon cables. Quantity orders may qualify for discounts of up to 30 percent.
Unlike typical multifunction USB data acquisition devices, NI M Series USB devices incorporate NI signal streaming and advanced power management, two key technologies that contribute to portability and high performance. NI signal streaming is a patent-pending technology that enables multiple, bidirectional high-speed data streams over USB. Advanced power management constrains device power draw within the USB 2.0 specifications, eliminating the need for external power.
The USB-6212 and USB-6216 are shipped with NI LabVIEW SignalExpress LE and NI-DAQmx driver software, and they are compatible with LabVIEW, ANSI C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, and Visual Basic 6.0.
