DAQ Tools Outfit Labs And Manufacturing Floors

Users of the companyÕs LabVIEW graphical development environment and data-acquisition (DAQ) boards can now measure the power of light for optical component alignment, manufacturing, and test. This setup is said to scale from design to production applications.A DAQ board such as the NI6052E, with 16 analog inputs for both PCI and PXI, can be used with a wide variety of third-party optical sensors. Combined with LabVIEW, users can expect sampling rates up to 333 ksamples/s with 16-bit resolution. For more details, call Ernest Martinez at NATIONAL INSTRUMENTS, Austin, TX. (800) 259-7022.
