Product Features
Easy Sensor Connectivity
CompactDAQ supports virtually any physical sensor with modules designed specifically for your measurement type. Each module includes the necessary signal conditioning and connectors, so you can spend less time worrying about setup and more time collecting accurate data. We’ve done the hard work—just choose the module that matches your sensor, and you’re ready to go.
Compact, Rugged Design
Don’t worry about protecting your instrumentation—the CompactDAQ chassis handles 50 g shock and operates at -40 °C to 70 °C. Its compact size and flexible mounting options make it easy to set up near your device under test, reducing sensor wiring and preserving data quality. Designed for reliability, CompactDAQ lets you focus on the test, not the hardware.

System Components
CompactDAQ System Components
Each CompactDAQ system includes a chassis that connects to your PC over USB or Ethernet, plus one or more I/O modules for measurements. You can control and analyze data using NI software—like LabVIEW or FlexLogger™—or choose from a wide range of common programming languages, including .NET, C#, and Python.
CompactDAQ Chassis
CompactDAQ chassis connect your I/O modules to a PC over USB or Ethernet and unify your measurements for seamless data acquisition with built-in timing and synchronization. All chassis share the same core technology and module compatibility, but differ by communication bus, slot count, and environmental range.
