Hello guys,
I am an intern in National Instruments, Jaoan and I am doing a marketin project abour myDAQ. I need some information about this product because I am not an engineer so I don't know the alternative products of it.
My question is; if you know, can you write me the alternative products of myDAQ? Which company produces it? And do you prefer myDAQ or other, why?
Thanks a lot, it will literally save my life
I would suggest to start a massive "google-ing" with your fellow Jaoan 🙂
Read the technical specifications of the myDAQ unit, and compare it with some alternatives. After a short web search I have just found several discussions about these topics:

Just to give you some hints, you could take into consideration some of these specifications when you try to compare different DAQ products:
- A/D conversion ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog-to-digital_converter )
- Accuracy, stability, etc.
- Available ranges
- Number of channels, type of inputs/outputs (digital IO, Analogue IO, counters, PWM modes, internal clock)
- Sampling frequency ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(signal_processing)#Sampling_rate )
- Available sampling rate "shared" between all channels, or specified "per channel", etc...
- Price
- Available drivers/programming languages
- Connectivity (USB, serial port, Wifi, Bluetooth, etc...)
- Extra features, like the myDAQ comes with some nice options, as multimeter, oscilloscope, etc (NI Elvis: http://www.ni.com/tutorial/11420/en/ )...
