 Data Sheet
The National Instruments USB-6229 is a USB high-performance M Series multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) module optimized for superior accuracy at fast sampling rates.
The USB-6229 is designed specifically for mobile or space-constrained applications. Plug-and-play installation minimizes configuration and setup time, while direct screw-terminal connectivity helps keep costs down and simplifies signal connections.
This USB-6229 also features the new NI Signal Streaming technology, which provides DMA-like bidirectional high-speed streaming of data across the USB bus. For more information about NI signal streaming, check the Resources tab.
NI also offers a USB-6229 OEM version. Check the Resources tab or use the left navigation to get pricing and technical information.
Driver Software
NI-DAQmx driver and measurement services software provides easy-to-use configuration and programming interfaces with features such as DAQ Assistant to help reduce development time. Browse the information in the Resources tab to learn more about driver software or download a driver. M Series devices are not compatible with the traditional NI-DAQ (Legacy) driver.
Application Software
Every M Series data acquisition device includes a copy of NI LabVIEW SignalExpress so you can quickly acquire, analyze, and present data without programming. In addition to LabVIEW SignalExpress, M Series data acquisition devices are compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software – LabVIEW 7.1, LabWindows™/CVI 7.x, or Measurement Studio 7.x. M Series data acquisition devices are also compatible with Visual Studio .NET, C/C++, and
Visual Basic 6.
