Graviton NI USB-6210 16-Bit 250 kS/s DAQ 779675-01

USB bus-powered DAQ module

The NI USB-6210 is a 16-bit multifunction data acquisition device that draws power directly from the USB connection. It provides 16 analog input channels, four digital input lines and four digital output lines for portable or space-constrained measurement tasks. Plug-and-play operation allows automatic detection and configuration without external power supplies.

Sustained 250 kS/s sampling with 16-bit resolution

Each analog channel maintains full 16-bit accuracy at up to 250 kS/s single-channel rate across four programmable input ranges from ±0.2 V to ±10 V. The module includes two 32-bit counters and digital triggering for precise timing operations. USB bus power ensures consistent performance during extended acquisition sessions without voltage drop from separate adapters.

Replaces bench-top DAQ units needing AC power

This module upgrades setups that previously required mains-powered chassis or external power bricks for basic analog and digital I/O. The jump is worth it when mobility, reduced cabling or limited bench space outweigh the need for higher channel counts or isolated inputs not provided here. It suits users who need 16 single-ended analog channels and basic digital I/O without a separate power source.
