Overview and Applications
National Instruments portable E Series DAQ products deliver the
same functionality available in PCI and PXI E Series DAQ devices –
in a portable format. The DAQPad devices are hot swappable and
available in up to three different configurations. The 15 cm enclosure
is ideal for desktop or portable applications and features a 68-pin
shielded connector. The 30 cm enclosure with mass termination
offers a low-profile package that fits under your laptop computer.
It features a 68-pin shielded connector to connect signals from our
SCC modular signal conditioning products or from our CA-1000
custom connectivity enclosure. The 30 cm enclosure with BNC
connectivity is ideal for applications where portability and quick
connectivity are needed, such as in-vehicle automotive or aircraft
testing and portable data logging.
NI DAQCards are Type II, PC Card compliant and provide
performance equivalent to their PCI or PXI counterparts. However, due
to their compact design, they can be used in applications where space
constraints are an important concern, such as field service and research.
Highly Accurate Hardware Design
NI portable E Series DAQ devices provide the functionality of
E Series data acquisition devices in a portable format:
Temperature Drift Protection Circuitry
– Designed with components
that minimize the effect of temperature changes on measurements to
less than 0.0010% of reading per °C.
Resolution Improvement Technologies
– Carefully designed noise
floor maximizes the resolution.
Onboard Self-Calibration
– Precise voltage reference included for
calibration and measurement accuracy. Self-calibration is completely
software controlled, with no potentiometers to adjust.
NI DAQ-STC
– Timing and control ASIC designed to provide more
flexibility, lower power consumption, and a higher immunity to noise
and jitter than off-the-shelf counter/timer chips.
NI MITE
– ASIC designed to optimize data transfer for multiple
simultaneous operations using bus mastering with DMA channels,
interrupts, or programmed I/O.
