Data acquisition devices

X Series 16 new devices for PCI Express and PXI Express are said to be the most advanced data acquisition devices ever designed by National Instruments, with significant improvements in onboard timing and triggering and optimizations for use with multicore PCs.

X Series devices integrate high-performance analog, digital and counter/timer functionality onto a single device, making them well suited for a broad range of applications, from basic data logging to control and test automation.

X Series DAQ devices, which include up to 32 analog inputs (AI), four analog outputs (AO), 48 digital I/O lines and four counters, range from low-cost 250 kS/s multiplexed AI to 2 MS/s simultaneous sampling AI. Simultaneous X Series devices integrate up to 16 ADCs on a single device at 2 MS/s per channel, so engineers can sample all AI channels at a high rate and with minimal phase offset.
