Plug-in data acquisition boards

  • What is USB DAQ?

    The Keysight USB data acquisition (DAQ) family gives you the choice and flexibility to create solutions that evolve and expand according to your changing measurement needs.
    You can acquire, measure, and analyze data from electrical, mechanical, physical, and acoustical phenomena..

  • DAQ systems can interface with diverse types of sensors and transducers – allowing measurements of analog, digital, and specialized signals.
    They support multiple input types, such as voltage, temperature, pressure, strain, and more.
Data acquisition computer boards, also known as DAQ cards, are self-contained printed circuit boards (PCBs) that plug into backplanes, motherboards, or interface directly with a computer. They either have direct inputs or receive analog and digital inputs from signal conditioners, modules, relays or sensors.
Since USB connections supply power, only one cable is required to link the data acquisition device to the PC, which most likely has at least one USB port. Computer data acquisition boards plug directly into the computer bus.
You can also check with your software supplier to see what data acquisition boards it supports. A typical plug-in data acquisition board offers these features:

How much does a plug-in data acquisition card cost?

A plug-in data acquisition card with 16 analog input channels in the USD$1,000 to USD$2,000 price range represents a cost of USD$62

50 to USD$125 00 per measurement point

This compares to USD$350 per point (or more) for a conventional "front-end" or communications-based system

What are the features of plug-in data acquisition boards?

Features of plug-in data acquisition boards Least expensive method of computerized measurement and control

High speed available (100kHz to 1GHz and higher)

Available in multi-function versions that combine A/D, D/A, digital I/O, counting, timing, and specialized functions

Good for tasks involving low-to-moderate channel counts
