Hi,
I currently have a NI USB-6218.
I am building an acquisition system and I want to connect the analog output of 2 biomedical devices to the NI DAQ.
This is a description of what I have in mind:

I would like to build a box in which to put the NI DAQ and a PCB. The PCB would act as a bridge between the device cables (carrying the analog signal) and the NI DAQ. I would then connect the NI DAQ to the PC (Labview) to collect the output.
1)Do you think this is a smart solution? Would you reccomend a different approach?
2) If so, where can I find a PCB connector to the NI USB-6218?
These are the connectors that that device currently has:

Thanks for the help.

Hi thenomadsoul,
your intention seems quite clear to me, but I don't think there is the possibility to have any kind of male/female physical connection with the USB connectors. Have you considered fixing the PCB and the USB on a common substrate and use a wired connection between the 2?
