NI Portable E Series Model Guide Overview and Applications Highly Accurate Hardware Design National Instruments portable E Series DAQ products deliver the same functionality available in PCI and PXI E Series DAQ devices – in a portable format. The DAQPad devices are hot swappable and available in up to three different configurations. The 15 cm enclosure is ideal for desktop or portable applications and features a 68-pin shielded connector. The 30 cm enclosure with mass termination offers a low-profile package that fits under your laptop computer. It features a 68-pin shielded connector to connect signals from our SCC modular signal conditioning products or from our CA-1000 custom connectivity enclosure. The 30 cm enclosure with BNC connectivity is ideal for applications where portability and quick connectivity are needed, such as in-vehicle automotive or aircraft testing and portable data logging. NI DAQCards are Type II, PC Card compliant and provide performance equivalent to their PCI or PXI counterparts. However, due to their compact design, they can be used in applications where space constraints are an important concern, such as field service and research. NI portable E Series DAQ devices provide the functionality of E Series data acquisition devices in a portable format: Temperature Drift Protection Circuitry – Designed with components that minimize the effect of temperature changes on measurements to less than 0.0010% of reading per °C. Resolution Improvement Technologies – Carefully designed noise floor maximizes the resolution. Onboard Self-Calibration – Precise voltage reference included for calibration and measurement accuracy. Self-calibration is completely software controlled, with no potentiometers to adjust. NI DAQ-STC – Timing and control ASIC designed to provide more flexibility, lower power consumption, and a higher immunity to noise and jitter than off-the-shelf counter/timer chips. NI MITE – ASIC designed to optimize data transfer for multiple simultaneous operations using bus mastering with DMA channels, interrupts, or programmed I/O.

PFI Lines – Eight programmable function input (PFI) lines that can be used for software-controlled routing of intraboard digital and timing signals. Cleaner Code Development – Basic and advanced software functions have been combined into one easy-to-use yet powerful set to help you build cleaner code and move from basic to advanced applications without replacing functions. RSE Mode – In addition to differential and nonreferenced singleended modes, NI portable E Series devices offer referenced single-ended (RSE) mode for use with floating signal sources in applications with channel counts higher than eight. Onboard Temperature Sensor – Included for monitoring the operating temperature of the device to ensure that it is operating within the specified range. Analog and Digital Triggering – Some portable E Series devices provide the ability to set a trigger based on the level of an analog signal, in addition to the ability to trigger off an edge of a digital signal. High-Performance Driver Engine – Software-timed single point input (typically used in control loops) with NI-DAQ achieves rates of up to 50 kHz. NI-DAQ also delivers maximum system throughput I/O with a multithreaded driver. Test Panels – With NI-DAQ, you can test all of your device functionality before you begin development. Scaled Channels – Easily scale your voltage data into the proper engineering units using the NI-DAQ measurement-ready virtual channels by choosing from a list of common sensors and signals or creating your own custom scale. High-Performance, Easy-to-Use Driver Software Measurement Services Software includes NI-DAQ, the robust driver software that makes it easy to access the functionality of your data acquisition hardware, whether you are a beginning or advanced user.
