More power to DAQ!

摘要

Tristan Jones, technical marketing engineer at National Instruments, explains the benefits behind a new range of multifunctional data acquisition devices. The drive for products to meet customer demands for functionality and time-to-market technology is continuously advancing. Many automation systems need data acquisition, datalogging and control, along with other aspects like motion control and machine vision. With more than 6 million measurement channels delivered in 2004 alone, devices such as data acquisition boards have become the heart of many automation and control systems. Innovative new technology has improved the accuracy, ease-of-use and performance of the latest range of data acquisition devices whilst continuing to reduce the cost per I/O channel.
