Photoelectric sensor for NI USB-6008

[i.kakavas]

Hello,

I would like to buy a fork shaped photoelectric sensor of high frequency (10kHz) to plug into my NI usb-6008. I'm looking for a relatively cheap UK based company (RsComponents have some that cost 80pounds). Any ideas?

Thanks!

Are you looking to interface a photointerruptor to the DAQ? 

One of these sort of things:

Hi,

I just wanted to give you the datasheet for this USB device so that you can choose a sensor that matches the requirements of the hardware:

And also a getting started guide for you:

Hope this helps.
