USB M Series for Test
For test, you can use the M Series high-speed analog inputs and
10 MHz digital lines with NI signal conditioning for applications
including test, component characterization, and sensor measurement.
High-speed USB-625x M Series devices are compatible with the
NI SCC signal conditioning platform, providing amplification filtering and
power for virtually every type of sensor. This platform is also compliant
with IEEE 1451.4 smart transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) sensors,
which offer digital storage for sensor data sheet information.
USB M Series multifunction DAQ devices also complement existing
test systems that need additional measurement channels. For higher-
channel-count signal conditioning on USB, consider the NI CompactDAQ
or SCXI platforms.
USB M Series for Control
USB M Series digital lines can drive 24 mA for relay and actuator
control. By clocking the digital lines as fast as 10 MHz (with onboard
regeneration), you can use these lines for pulse-width modulation
(PWM) to control valves, motors, fans, lamps, and pumps. With four
waveform analog outputs, two 80 MHz counter/timers, and four high-
speed data streams on USB, M Series devices can execute multiple
control loops simultaneously. High-speed USB-625x M Series devices
also offer direct support for encoder measurements, protected digital
lines, and digital debounce filters. With up to 80 analog inputs,
32 clocked digital lines, and four analog outputs, you can execute
multiple control loops with a single device.
You can also create a complete custom motion controller by combining
USB M Series devices with the NI SoftMotion Development Module.
USB M Series for Design
For design applications, you can use a wide range of I/O – from
80 analog inputs to 48 digital lines – to measure and verify prototype
designs. USB M Series devices and National Instruments LabVIEW
SignalExpress interactive measurement software bring benchtop
measurements to the PC. With NI LabVIEW SignalExpress, you
can quickly create design verification tests. The fast acquisition and
generation rates of high-performance USB M Series high-speed
devices along with LabVIEW SignalExpress provide fast design analysis.
You can convert your tested and verified LabVIEW SignalExpress projects
to LabVIEW applications for immediate M Series DAQ use, and bridge
the gap between test, control, and design applications.
USB M Series for OEMs
Shorten your time to market by integrating National Instruments
OEM products in your design. Board-only versions of USB M Series
DAQ devices are available for OEM applications, with competitive
quantity pricing and software customization. The NI OEM Elite Program
offers free 30-day trial kits for qualified customers. Visit ni.com/oem
for more information.
Recommended Training and Services
All M Series devices are available with additional warranty and
calibration services. For new data acquisition programmers,
NI recommends the “Data Acquisition: 7 Steps to Success” tutorial kit.
This tutorial kit helps shorten development time for data acquisition
applications by describing the various stages of getting started with DAQ
including system definition, setup, test, and application programming.
Recommended Software
National Instruments measurement services software, built around
NI-DAQmx driver software, includes intuitive application programming
interfaces, configuration tools, I/O assistants, and other tools designed to
reduce system setup, configuration, and development time. National
Instruments recommends using the latest version of NI-DAQmx driver
software for application development in National Instruments LabVIEW,
LabVIEW SignalExpress, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio. To
