NI CompactDAQ System Serves Embedded Measurements

August 8, 2012. National Instruments at NIWeek announced the new standalone NI CompactDAQ system, a high-performance embedded measurement and logging platform with a built-in dual-core Intel processor for running data acquisition, online analysis, and logging software. With the NI CompactDAQ platform, engineers can customize 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.

“We easily upgraded to the standalone NI CompactDAQ system with almost no changes to our LabVIEW code,” said Tim Carlier, president and founder of Integrated Test & Measurement. “With the new embedded data-logging platform, we can run our iTestSystem software and log synchronized sensor data directly to the device, eliminating the need for a separate PC and drastically reducing system costs and maintenance requirements.”

The standalone NI CompactDAQ system features an Intel Core i7 dual-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of nonvolatile storage; an 8-slot chassis with more than 50 C Series I/O module options; USB, Ethernet, and serial ports; and the ability to stream data to disk at up to 30 MB/s. Prices start at $6,499.
