Hardware Description
Measuring less than 16 cm2, slightly larger than a standard postage
stamp, the National Instruments CF-6004 is a tiny, yet powerful
platform for handheld measurements. With 14-bit resolution and up
to 132 kS/s aggregate sampling on four analog input channels, the
NI CF-6004 packs full measurement functionality into a Type II
CompactFlash slot, available on many PDAs. The NI CF-6004 is ideal
for many portable applications, from consolidation of multiple
handheld instruments to custom handheld measurement, analysis,
and communication.
Recommended Accessories
Three connectivity options are available for use with the NI CF-6004.
You can use the SH-15-15-B to connect directly to signals or your
own custom connector, or you can use the SH-15-15 to connect to
one of two connector blocks.

Software Description
The CF-6004 ships with NI-DAQmx Base driver software, a
multiplatform driver with a subset of the NI-DAQmx programming
interface. Use it to develop customized handheld DAQ applications
with the NI LabVIEW PDA module for PocketPC.
Common Applications
The CF-6004 in a PDA is ideal for a number of applications where
economy, small size, and portability are essential, such as:
• Biomedical/wearable computing
• Field monitoring/diagnostics
• Portable data logging and analysis
