NI USB-9201

Portable USB-Based DAQ for High-Speed Analog Signals

  • Small, portable devices (12.1 by 8.6 by 2.5 cm)
  • 8 analog inputs at 12-bit resolution
  • 500 kS/s aggregate sampling rate
  • NI-DAQmx driver software to simplify configuration and measurements
  • Plug-and-play connectivity via USB
  • Includes LabVIEW SignalExpress data-logger software

The National Instruments USB-9201 data acquisition module features integrated signal conditioning that provides plug-and-play connectivity via USB for faster setup and measurements. This module has eight single-ended analog input channels at 12-bit resolution and can achieve an aggregate sampling rate of 500 kS/s. With both screw-terminal and D-Sub connector options, the NI USB-9201 is designed for flexible and low-cost signal wiring. In addition, this module includes channel-to-earth ground isolation for safety, noise immunity, and high common-mode voltage range.

Every NI USB data acquisition module 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; or LabVIEW with the LabVIEW Real-Time Module 7.1. USB data acquisition modules are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and Visual Basic 6.
