NI CompactDAQ Under the Hood – Three Technologies That Drive USB Performance
Over the past decade, USB has emerged as a viable, if not preferred, bus option for PC-based data acquisition systems. Two of the most desirable features for any data acquisition system are high data throughput and ease of use. NI CompactDAQ, the latest in USB data acquisition, addresses both of these through analog input data transfer rates up to 3.2 MS/s in a USB-based platform with plug-and-play, hot-swappable module installation.
