S Series Multifunction DAQ – up to 16-Bit,
up to 3 MS/s per Channel, up to 8 Analog Inputs
Professional Analysis and
Presentation Toolkits
There are several analysis and presentation add-on toolkits available
from National Instruments that help make you more productive
when developing custom applications with your S Series devices.
Turn your S Series device into a transient recorder, spectrum
analyzer, or one of several other instruments with these toolkits.
NI LabVIEW Sound and Vibration Toolkit
This toolkit includes a full set of frequency-domain analysis and
presentation tools required for sound and vibration applications.
These tools include:
• Distortion, gain, phase, cross-talk, and dynamic range measurements
• Octave analysis
• Swept-sine analysis

• Linear, exponential, and peak hold measurements
• Baseband and zoom FFT, power, FFT, power spectral density (PSD)
• Limit testing
High-Performance Data Throughput
Using NI-DAQmx driver software and S Series, you can take full
advantage of your PC’s throughput potential, which is useful in many
applications including transient recording.
• Short-time Fourier transform and shock response spectrum
• Weighting filters
• System calibration
• Waterfall/colormap display
Flexible Data Transfer

stream-to-disk/memory capabilities. In any case, NI-DAQmx
optimizes data transfers by using DMA (direct memory access) and
transferring large chunks of data, while ensuring no data loss. You
can also choose the format of your data, further optimizing
throughput. Choices include raw (binary), scaled, or the high-level
waveform data type. Using these techniques, you can achieve rates of
more than 40 MS/s sustained over the PCI/PXI bus to hard drive
(depending on the PC).
• Wavelet and filter-bank design
• Digital filter design of FIR and IIR filters
• Joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) with the Gabor spectrograph
• High-frequency resolution model-based spectral estimation for
small datasets
NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit
This toolkit includes all of the analysis and presentation tools to
convert your S Series device into a full-featured spectrum analyzer.
The toolkit includes:
• Measurements such as in-band power and adjacent-channel power
• 3D spectrogram
• Analog modulation and demodulation
• I-Q data for digital demodulation
• Highly optimized FFT processing
