Overview
With recent bandwidth improvements and new innovations from National Instruments, USB has evolved into a core bus of choice for measurement and automation applications.
NI M Series devices for USB deliver high-performance data acquisition in an easy-to-use and portable form factor through USB ports on laptop computers and other portable
computing platforms. National Instruments designed the new and innovative patent-pending NI signal streaming technology that enables sustained bidirectional high-speed data
streams on USB. The new technology, combined with advanced external synchronization and isolation, helps engineers and scientists achieve high-performance applications on
USB.
NI M Series bus-powered multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) devices for USB are optimized for superior accuracy in a small form factor. They provide an onboard NI-PGIA 2
amplifier designed for fast settling times at high scanning rates, ensuring 16-bit accuracy even when measuring all available channels at maximum speed.
All bus-powered devices have a minimum of 16 analog inputs, digital triggering, and two counter/timers. USB M Series devices are ideal for test, control, and design applications
including portable data logging, field monitoring, embedded OEM, in-vehicle data acquisition and academic.
