The National Instruments DAQPad-6015 is a portable multifunction data acquisition device that connects via USB for plug-and-play operation in field, laboratory, and embedded applications. It delivers 16-bit resolution across 16 analog input channels and 2 analog output channels, with sampling rates up to 200 kS/s and configurable input ranges from ±50 mV to ±10 V. The device includes 8 digital I/O lines (5 V TTL/CMOS), 2 counter/timer channels, and a 4,096-sample FIFO buffer for continuous data capture.
