Features

These devices fall into the NI S Series product family. The S stands for simultaneous sampling, the most evident benefit of the dedicated analog-to-digital converter (ADC) per channel architecture. However, the architecture has a few less obvious but very important advantages. Dedicated ADCs per Channel – This architecture offers a much higher sampling rate per channel. Traditional data acquisition devices share the sampling rate among the number of active channels. The overall data throughput stays the same. With S Series devices, the aggregate throughput increases with the number of active channels. Better Dynamic Specifications – Because ea ch c hannel has a dedicated ADC, there is less concern with settling time and the noise and e rror cause d b y sw itching input channels. Y ou can tune the analog input path for both accurate DC and dynamic measurements. Traditional data acquisition devices are ideal for DC measurements, but are not always the best solution for dynamic measurements. Low-Cost – The decrease in price of ADCs over time has made a dedicated ADC per channel architecture cost-effective.

  • Joint time-frequency analysis (JTFA) with the Gabor spectrograph
  • High-frequency resolution model-based spectral estimation for small datasets NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit This toolkit includes all of the analysis and presentation tools to convert your S Series device into a full-featured spectrum analyzer. The toolkit includes:
  • Measurements such as in-band power and adjacent-channel power
  • 3D spectrogram
  • Analog modulation and demodulation
  • I-Q data for digital demodulation
  • Highly optimized FFT processing High-Performance Data Throughput Using NI-D AQmx dr iver software and S Series, you can take full advantage of your PC’s throughput potential, which is useful in many applications including transient recording. Flexible Data Transfer With NI-DAQmx, you can choose where to accumulate data – on the onboard memory, PC RAM memory, or PC hard drive memory. Thus, you can balance your PC application requirements and stream-to-disk/memory capabilities. In any case, NI-DAQmx optimizes data transfers by using DMA (direct memory access) and transferring large chunks of data, while ensuring no data loss. Y ou can also choose the format of your data, further optimizing throughput. Choices include raw (binary), scaled, or the high-level waveform data type. Using these techniques, you can achieve rates of more than 40 MS/s sustained over the PCI/PXI bus to hard drive (depending on the PC).
