National Instruments to host NIWeek 2008
National Instruments has announced plans for NIWeek, the industry's premier event on graphical system design that attracts more than 3,000 of the world's brightest engineers, educators and scientists
All modules are hot-swappable and autodetectable for simplified setup, and offer up to 2,300 Vrms of isolation to ensure PC and user safety.
The system is ideal for sensor and electrical measurements on the benchtop, in the field and on the production line.
Through signal streaming technology developed by National Instruments, NI CompactDAQ delivers four dedicated USB signal streams for synchronous analogue and digital I/O.
This high-bandwidth technology is necessary for data-intensive applications including sound and vibration, mixed-signal automated test and high-speed data logging.
In addition, the small size (25 by 9 by 9 cm) and flexible power options (AC or 11 to 30 VDC) make NI CompactDAQ ideal for a wide range of test settings, such as in-vehicle, benchtop and automated test applications.
"We are very pleased that Test and Measurement World has recognised the significance of the NI CompactDAQ system with its Best in Test award," said Tim Dehne, NI Senior Vice President of R+D.
"NI invests heavily in R+D, resulting in high-quality, high-performance products that revolutionise the way engineers and scientists work.
The NI CompactDAQ modular data acquisition system takes full advantage of the bandwidth of Hi-Speed USB and minimises both size and power consumption for portable requirements.
It provides fast and accurate measurements in a small, simple and affordable system".
Nominations for the Best in Test competition were submitted by manufacturers and users of products introduced between 1 Nov 2005, and 31 Oct 2006.
The magazine publishes its list of Best in Test finalists in December and asks readers to vote for the Test Product of the Year.
Representatives from Test and Measurement World will announce the results at the APEX/IPC trade show at around 20 Feb in Los Angeles. Request free introductory details about products from National Instruments ...
