It comes with the company’s NI-DAQ driver software and integrates seamlessly with their measurement and automation software, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI and ComponentWorks.

This device features: a 1.25 MS/s sampling rate, 12-bit A/D resolution, 16 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 8 digital I/O lines, and two 24-bit counter timers. As a FireWire product, the 6070E is hot pluggable and delivers easy plug and play configuration. To conform to the FireWire specification, the device must be located within 4.5 m of the bus socket. However, up to 16 devices can be daisy-chained to span a maximum distance of 72 m.

DAQPad-6070E is available in two different configurations: mass termination and BNC termination. The mass termination version offers a low-profile package that fits under most laptop computers. It features a 68-pin shielded connector to connect signals from the company’s signal conditioning products. The BNC termination version is ideal for applications where portability and quick connectivity is needed. DAQPad includes an AC to DC power adapter and an optional rechargeable battery pack or 9 to 25 VDC supply. National Instruments, Austin, TX, (800) 258-7022, www.natinst.com.
