N
ational Instruments
has introduced the new stand-alone NI
CompactDAQ system, a high-performance embedded measure-
ment and logging platformwith a built-in dual-core Intel processor for
running data acquisition, online analysis and logging software.With
the NI CompactDAQ platform, engineers can customise a complete
measurement system using LabVIEW or take advantage of over 600
companies in the NI Alliance Partner Network for a custom turnkey
data-logging solution.
According toTimCarlier, president and founder of IntegratedTest &
Measurement: “We easily upgraded to the stand-alone NI Compact-
DAQ system with almost no changes to our LabVIEW code. With the
new embedded data-logging platform, we can run our iTestSystem
software and log synchronised sensor data directly to the device,
eliminating the need for a separate PC and drastically reducing system
costs and maintenance requirements.”
Features
• Intel Core i7 dual-core processor, 2 GB RAM
and 32 GB nonvolatile storage: Run high-
performance, mixed-measurement tests
while logging data directly to the system,
removing the need for an external PC.
• Compatible with LabVIEW 2012 – Accelerate
productivity with the latest version of Lab-
VIEW, which provides sample projects and
templates for high-speed acquisition and data logging, designed
to save time and lower maintenance costs.
• 8-slot chassis with more than 50 C Series I/Omodule options: Mix
and match a variety of I/O and sensor types, including AI, AO, DIO
and CAN to create custom measurement and logging systems.
• USB, Ethernet and serial ports: Connect USB/Ethernet NI Com-
pactDAQ devices, including the newNI cDAQ-9184 Ethernet chas-
sis, to expand the number of module slots for large-channel-count
applications or integrate other devices, such as a camera or GPS
device.
• Stream data to disk at up to 30 MB/s: Simultaneously stream
continuous measurements with sample rates up to 1 MS/s/ch.
