Overview and Applications
National Instruments M Series high-speed multifunction data acquisition (DAQ) devices are optimized for superior accuracy at fast sampling rates. They have an onboard NI-PGIA 2 amplifier designedfor fast settling times at high scanning rates, ensuring 16-bit accuracy even when measuring all channels at maximum speeds. All high-speed devices have a minimum of 16 analog inputs, 24 digital I/O lines, seven programmable input ranges, analog and digital triggering, and two counter/timers. All M Series devices are available with a 3-year warranty for a limited time. By registering your M SeriesDAQ device, you can add 2 years of warranty service to the standard 1-year warranty. High-speed M Series devices have an extended 2-year calibration interval.

M Series for Test
For test, you can use M Series high-speed analog inputs and 10 MHz digital lines in conjunction with NI signal conditioning for applications including electronics test, component characterization, and sensormeasurements. High-speed M Series devices are compatible with National Instruments SCC and SCXI signal conditioning platforms, which provide amplification, filtering, and power for virtually every type of sensor. These platforms also are compliant with IEEE 1451.4 smart transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) sensors, which provide digital storage for sensor data sheet information. For improved accuracy,high-accuracy M Series devices are recommended in test applications. Your tests can benefit from the high-accuracy M Series 18-bit ADC
