Data Sheet

The NI USB-9215A data acquisition module features integrated signal conditioning that provides plug-and-play connectivity via USB for faster setup and measurements. It offers four channels of simultaneously sampled voltage inputs with 16-bit accuracy to provide minimal phase delay when scanning multiple channels. With both screw-terminal and BNC connector options, the USB-9215A is designed for flexible and low-cost signal wiring. In addition, this module includes 250 Vrms channel-to-earth ground isolation for safety, noise immunity, and high common-mode voltage range.

This USB data acquisition module is compatible with Microsoft Windows OSs when using NI-DAQmx driver software, and Mac OS X and Linux OSs when using NI-DAQmx Base driver software. This USB data acquisition module is not compatible with the Traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) driver.

Every NI USB data acquisition module includes a copy of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress LE for Windows 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 7.1 Real-Time Module. USB data acquisition modules are also compatible with ANSI C/C++, C#, Visual Studio .NET, and Visual Basic 6.0.
