SensorDAQ

Recommended for College and High School.

SensorDAQ is a USB data-acquisition interface from National Instruments and Vernier that offers convenience and power to engineering students.

The SensorDAQ interface is perfect for teaching NI LabVIEW or for building sensor-control student projects using NI LabVIEW software.

Included are four channels for a quick and easy way to add Vernier sensors without external wiring or signal conditioning. There is a screw terminal for digital I/O, analog output, counter, +5 Volt line, and 2 more analog inputs to build circuits, create custom sensors, control RC servo motors, turn on electronic devices, and more.

Connect over 55 Vernier analog and digital sensors
Use with NI LabVIEW software version 8.2 or newer (not included)
Screw terminal connector provides 12 auxiliary channels

Engineering Books for use with SensorDAQ

Hands-On Introduction to NI LabVIEW with Vernier

This book will introduce NI LabVIEW programming through a series of hands-on exercises using Vernier sensors and SensorDAQ. Besides learning the basics of NI LabVIEW programming, your students will get started collecting and analyzing data. This enhances the learning experience and helps them move to the stage of creating their own custom programs and independent projects.
