USB Data Acquisition Device with 20 Bit Resolution

26 September 2024 – Emerson expanded its NI USB data acquisition (DAQ) product line with the new NI mioDAQ device. Emerson’s NI mioDAQ bus-powered USB DAQ device features up to 16 channels of 20-bit resolution and delivers 1 million simultaneous samples per second. It was built for optimal performance, offering improved measurement capabilities, simplified setup and upgraded software. Its modern mechanical design and USB type-C connectivity simplify setup and increase accessibility to engineering teams. This capability enables engineers to debug complex designs early in the development cycle, significantly reducing costs.

Designed for the desktop but robust enough for fully automated test benches, the hardware features up to 32 analog input channels, four high-speed analog outputs, 16 flexible digital lines, four counters, and guaranteed specs for two- and 10-year calibration cycles.

The NI mioDAQ device’s setup page streamlines the initial user setup process. By simply scanning a QR code on the device, engineers gain immediate access to essential software and startup resources, including the pin map, manual, drivers, setup videos and other technical documents. This efficient access minimizes setup time and frustration, allowing engineers to start using the solution quickly.

Each device ships with all necessary connectivity accessories and a USB cable, further reducing configuration time and enhancing the accessibility of quality measurements.

NI mioDAQ devices now support FlexLogger Lite data logging software, ideal for engineers needing quick data access. It integrates seamlessly with Emerson’s NI LabVIEW software and the LabVIEW+ suite for lab and manufacturing test systems. With more than two decades of using the same DAQ driver, engineers using existing NI DAQ hardware can expect backward compatibility and easier performance upgrades.

Additionally, the NI mioDAQ solution and its driver support software development with C/C++, C#, Python and other languages. Emerson offers enhanced Python support, simplifying package and driver software installation with a command line package script. Full documentation is available on Read the Docs hosting platform, and full open-source access to the Python Package, including over 50 example programs, is available through GitHub.
