Difference Between USB-6218 Multifunction I/O Device and Compact DAQ

Difference Between USB-6218 Multifunction I/O Device and Compact DAQ

‎07-07-2019 10:42 PM

Hello Everyone,

As I am amateur in the DAQ systems, what are the differences between a USB-6218 Multifunction I/O Device and Compact DAQ?

For what kind of applications are both? Can the USB-6218 Multifunction I/O Device control for example a motor from LabView?

Thank you

The CompactDAQ platform is generally more robust, and has modular functionality which the USB-6218 does not. You need a counter output for pwm motor control, which the USB-6218 does have.
