Hello all I am looking for a cheap single AI and single TC card. Anyone know if NI makes such a card?
Hey Steven,
You will need to get a little more specific on your needs.
You say you want cards, so I am guessing PCI or PCIe? No USB or Ethernet?
How many channels are you looking for AI? Single ended? Differential? Range? Accuracy? The same goes for TC's.
What kind of budget do you have?
Depending on channel count and accuracy requirements you might be able to use a single card like the PCI-6225. About $1,600 plus accessories that has 40 differential channels and has 16 bit accuracy.
The quickest way to an answer would be to call sales or your local rep and see what NI can offer. There are other companies that make DAQ products that may be cheaper, but then you will need to deal with their drivers as well. Some are better than others, but I would rather use NI DAQ when possible.
