NI FieldDAQ: Measurement Performance in Extreme Conditions
NI FieldDAQ is a data acquisition device designed for harsh environments including -40C to 85C operating temperatures, 100g shock, 10 gRMS vibration, and IP65/67 ratings for dustproof and waterproof measurements. FieldDAQ devices are available for voltage, accelerometer, strain gages, load cells, and thermocouples. They communicate over Ethernet and can synchronize measurements across multiple devices using the built-in TSN synchronization technology.
