Comparison of DAQ cards

[Omershah]

Hello all,

My question is how NI myDAQ is different from other DAQ cards? I mean what is its comparison with other DAQ cards? 

If you can provide a link for comparison of different NI DAQ cards it will be very helpful.

I am asking this question for a presentation.

Regards

Omer

As far as just NI DAQ cards, there is a range in how they connect to the PC (USB, Ethernet (with cDAQ), PCI, PCIe, PXI), number of channels (some up to 80 channels), Digital IO, counters, and analog outputs, and then you have the accuracies and speed of the channels.

If you really want to dive into this, I recommend going to NI's main DAQ page: http://www.ni.com/data-acquisition/

Hi Omer,

you can find spec sheets for all NI products on their website.

To discuss specific needs you can also call your local NI sales rep!

I searched this page for NI myDAQ but i couldnt find it.

In which category is myDAQ present? I searched in USB but i was unable to find.

Also there will be some basic criteria for comparing them.. I mean how do they (NI) thought that customer needs myDAQ.

The myDAQ is an Academic product, meaning only students should be using it.  It should not be recommended to your customers.

I am also a student and doing a project with myDAQ. That is why i wanted to ask its advantages and disadvantages in comparison with other DAQ cards.

Here is the specification sheet for the myDAQ.  You can figure out what is different from there.
