    Good product for the price

    Posted by Brendan on 24th Sep 2019

    I bought this for high speed data acquisition and it worked very well. I LOVED that it could talk to MATLAB. It was a little difficult to set up but not bad for someone with an average electronic skill set and ability to follow directions. Also the casing was not great but for indoor applications it worked fine. Overall it is the best value for high speed acquisition on the market.

    Tough Little DAQ

    Posted by Chris30097 on 18th Aug 2015

    This DAQ puts is in our automated product testing machines. The combination of easy programming, great universal library, and its ability to be on for days at a time, make it the DAQ for our testing. We currently have 7 production testers that use this exact model. Because it is so easy, we can pretty much program the tester before it is even built.

    Found Everywhere

    Posted by ryius on 24th Feb 2014

    We started using this product last year to substitute for another data acquisition device that had malfunctioned. With just a software download and a few minor tweaks our tester functioned just as before, but we saved a lot of money. Now, seven of our testers include this same daq, which is used to control pressure regulators and receive data from various sensors. We can program at our workstations and then send the software to the field. It makes our testers almost plug-and-play.
