Lower Your Total Measurement Cost with NI Data Acquisition (DAQ) Devices

In a recent survey, NI data acquisition device customers and prospects reported that development time costs make up approximately two-thirds of their total application cost, while the combined price of hardware and software accounts for only one-third of their total measurement cost. To drive down hidden development costs, you can take advantage of NI plug-and-play DAQ hardware and time-saving software technologies such as NI-DAQmx and NI LabVIEW. NI software provides tight integration and innovative features such as DAQ Assistant and automatic code generation to substantially reduce software development, system set-up, configuration, and calibration time-costs.

Learn about the worldwide NI data acquisition hardware price reduction and key NI technologies that reduce your development time and lower your total measurement cost.


Since 1990, the cost per I/O channel for the most popular NI data acquisition devices has decreased by 74 percent.
