NI R Series Intelligent Data Acquisition Devices


Introduction to Intelligent DAQ
View the 3-minute tutorial.

Intelligent DAQ is multifunction data acquisition that features user-defined onboard processing, as well as complete flexibility of I/O timing and triggering. You can configure all device functionality by creating NI LabVIEW block diagrams with the LabVIEW FPGA Module. Your block diagram executes in hardware, giving you direct, immediate control of all I/O signals on the PXI or PCI device. With R Series and LabVIEW FPGA, you can configure user-defined hardware for a wide variety of applications requiring precise timing and control such as:

  • Data acquisition with onboard processing
  • High-speed analog and discrete control loops
  • Pulse-width modulation (PWM) and encoder interfacing
  • User-defined digital communication protocols
  • Custom counters with up to 64-bit resolution
  • Hardware-timed decision making at 40 MHz
