Multifunction I/O Data Acquisition Device mioDAQ.

The mioDAQ USB-64xx series are compact data acquisition devices in a completely new design with a metal housing and USB-C connection. Thanks to high resolution, speed and maximum accuracy, you can go from observation to insight in the shortest possible time. With simultaneous sampling of up to 16 channels, you can drastically reduce test times, no matter how complex the scenario. 

Easy setup and seamless software integration means you're ready to go, whether you're on site or on the move. Everything you need in one powerful device.

Modern Measurement Technology with improved Usability.

Engineers use the mioDAQ models to perform ±10 volt measurements, build electromechanical test systems and validate complex electronic designs. The compact, easy-to-install devices have integrated spring terminals, so you no longer have to worry about blocks or cables. In addition, the devices are designed to be operable with little or no training.  

Combine mioDAQ with the free FlexLogger Lite data logging software or with APIs and sample programs for NI LabVIEW, Python and C/C++. All in all, mioDAQ is ideal for engineers who perform quick debugging at their desk before heading to a test lab or bench.

mioDAQ is best suited for:

  • Generating ±10 volt output control signals with 16 or 20 bit resolution
  • Generate ±10 volt signals to simulate sensors
  • High-speed voltage signals with up to 1 MSa/s per channel  
  • Voltage drops across a shunt resistor for current measurement
  • Battery cell voltages (±10 volt peak measurement of the cell)
  • Power rails on USB/battery-powered electronic printed circuit boards (PCBs)
  • and other applications

Better measurements, set-up and software.

Features & Highlights.

Up to 20 bits and 1 MSa/s per channel.

Higher resolution and higher speed measurements provide insights into your test that would not be possible with lower quality inputs. Use the high resolution and multiple gain settings to amplify low voltage systems.

16 flexible DIO lines.

Set each line independently as a digital input or digital output and enable the connection and forwarding of external clocks or trigger signals and forwarding to a counter.

100 MHz time base.

The onboard timebase is the internal ‘heartbeat’ that drives all digital circuits. Sample clocks, trigger channels and counters/timers use the timebase as an integrated reference to generate clock frequencies and store digital edges. Analogue triggers respond faster and sampling frequencies are more accurate with a faster timebase.

Independent timing engines for analogue and digital I/O.

You can set different rates for analogue input and output channels as well as digital lines, as each channel type has its own timing engine.

  • Synchronisation of subsystems with the same clock (AI, AO, DIO all with the same rate and time)  
  • Trigger multiple subsystems (start simultaneously, run at different rates) 
  • Repeatedly triggerable acquisition (acquire a set number of samples based on a trigger, then reset and wait for the next trigger) 
  • Trigger for analogue measurements (trigger on a voltage input value)

Each mioDAQ model comes with free FlexLogger Lite data logging software, ideal for engineers and researchers who need to log data without programming.

Scan the QR code on the back of the device to access the user manual, specifications, pin assignment and links to download FlexLogger Lite and drivers for LabVIEW, Python C, C++ or C# as well as explanatory videos.

Sometimes you just need a way to secure or fasten devices. For this reason, there are openings for cable ties on the device.
