20-bit, 1MS/s/ch (16 AI, 2 AO, 16 DIO) mioDAQ, USB Multifunction I/O Device
Overview
The USB-6451 is a USB Type-C bus-powered mioDAQ device with analog I/O, digital I/O, and four counters. It features 8 simultaneous sampling analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with four input range settings from ± 200 mV to ± 10 V, to help you optimize the resolution of your measurements. The analog output channels can output ± 10 V with update rates of 250 kS/s/ch. Additionally, the USB-6451 digital I/O channels can function as static input or output channels, hardware-timed channels up to 10 MHz, or as triggers, clocks, or I/O for the four onboard counters. The USB-6451 also supports FlexLogger Lite, free data acquisition software from NI, and includes documented APIs and examples for LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, and more. You can choose an OEM version of the USB-6451, which ships as a non-enclosed, board-only device with 50-pin board-level connectors instead of spring terminals.

USB-6451 Accessories and Software
- Product (Part Number)DescriptionRecommended use casesFlexLogger Professional (785748-3501)FlexLogger Professional, Subscription License, Download
Recommended for automated, extensible data logging with NI data acquisition (DAQ) hardware. Automate tests using alarms, triggers, and events, and expand capabilities with plug-ins.
Key Features
- Multichassis synchronization—Synchronize multiple NI chassis for accurate, time-aligned measurements across high channel counts.
- Logging triggers—Start, stop, or segment data recording automatically based on sensor thresholds or other conditions to capture only what matters.
- Events—Respond to specific occurrences during a test, such as activating equipment when a condition is met (for example, start cooling fans when temperature exceeds a limit).
- Automation APIs—Control and monitor FlexLogger from external applications (Python, NI LabVIEW, or NI TestStand), enabling integration into larger automated test systems.
- Calculation channels—Perform real-time math on acquired data (averages, RMS, custom formulas) to track derived measurements as the test runs.
- Plug-ins—Extend FlexLogger with custom LabVIEW or Python plug-ins to integrate third-party hardware, perform custom analysis, or connect to lab systems.
- CAN/LIN logging—Acquire and log automotive network data alongside sensor measurements for complete vehicle or subsystem testing.
