Hardware Overview
The National Instruments DAQPad-6015 and DAQPad-6016
multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) devices provide plug-and-play
connectivity via USB for acquiring, generating, and logging data in a
variety of portable and desktop applications. DAQPad devices with
screw terminals or BNC connectors provide direct connectivity so
you can easily connect sensors and signals without extra cost. With
DAQPad-6015 mass termination, you can cable to external
accessories and signal conditioning devices such as NI SCC devices.
All devices feature 16-bit accuracy at up to 200 kS/s. The
DAQPad-6016 also provides 32 digital I/O lines for applications
requiring an extended interface to digital sensors and actuators.
