Power Your Connectivity with NI's Multifunction I/O
One Device, Infinite Possibilities
Multifunction input/output, or MIO, DAQ devices combine core measurement functions into a single device
Why NI for DAQ?
Software
NI has the best software options for engineers to assemble automated test and measurement systems. These software options include:
Support and example code for Python, C/C++, VB .NET and C#
FlexLogger Lite, free logging software
LabVIEW, the test and measurement industry standard for graphical programming
The LabVIEW+ Suite, a test software suite that includes LabVIEW plus software for advanced analysis, signal processing, and test sequencing
Quality
NI hardware is known for reliability and measurement quality so engineers can have confidence in their data
Flexibility
Engineers use NI’s catalog of hardware to keep up with the change of their daily jobs. Instruments, sensor measurements, software for test; NI has it all
What can you do with multifunction I/O DAQ?
Measure
- Any ±10 volt signal
- Sensors that output ±10 volts
- Quadrature encoders
- Resolvers
- Pulse/event counting sensors like meters
- High-speed voltage signals
- Voltage drops across a shunt resistor for current measurement
- Battery cell voltages (±10 volt peak cell measurement)
- Power rails on USB/battery-powered electronic boards (PCBs)
- Linear potentiometers (string pots)
- Pulse-width-modulated (PWM) signals Low voltage current sensors
- Low voltage potential transformers
Generate and Control
- Read/write TTL digital lines
- Drive low current relays using digital lines
- Generate ±10 volt output control signals
