The National Instruments USB-6009 provides basic data acquisition functionality for applications such as simple data logging, portable measurements, and academic lab experiments. It is affordable for student use and powerful enough for more sophisticated measurement applications. For Mac OS X and Linux users, download the NI-DAQmx Base driver software and program the USB-6009 with LabVIEW or C.

To supplement simulation, measurement, and automation theory courses with practical experiments, NI developed a USB-6009 Student Kit that includes a copy of the LabVIEW Student Edition. These kits are exclusively for students, giving them a powerful, low-cost, hands-on learning tool. Visit the NI academic products page at http://www.ni.com/academic/measurements.htm for more details.

For faster sampling, more accurate measurements, and higher channel count, consider the NI USB-6210 and NI USB-6211 high-performance USB data acquisition devices.

Every NI USB data acquisition device includes a copy of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress LE so you can quickly acquire, analyze, and present data without programming. In addition to LabVIEW SignalExpress, USB data acquisition modules are compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software – LabVIEW 7.x, LabWindows™/CVI 7.x, or Measurement Studio 7.x. USB data acquisition modules are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.
