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.
National Instruments designs and manufactures all products to minimize failures, however unexpected failures can still occur. Extended warranties provide a fixed economical price at the time of system purchase, covering any repair costs for up to three years. In addition, they offer the following benefits:
Significant cost savings compared to individual repair incidents
Fault location, diagnostics, and repair by NI any time the system product fails
All parts and labor costs covered as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications
NI recognizes the need to maintain properly calibrated devices for high-accuracy measurements. NI provides manual calibration procedures, services to recalibrate your products, and automated calibration software to calibrate many NI measurement products.
Return your registered product under warranty at no additional labor and parts cost. NI offers fault location, diagnostics, and repair any time the system fails as well as any adjustments needed to restore the hardware to manufacturing specifications.
The low-cost USB-6009 data acquisition device is ideal for acquiring analog inputs, generating analog outputs, and also performing digital i/o and counting - - all at the same time. With this functionality, you can perform many applications like high speed data logging, signal level generation, event counting, and even closed loop control. Using LabVIEW to develop this kind of application is simple and allows the flexibility to expand functionality.
