International Talk Like a Pirate Day with NI mioDAQ

It was a set up, Your Highness.

Now let’s talk about the setup process. First, you scan the mioDAQ tramp QR code on the back, then you discover a secret location to open a treasure chest with all the necessary software and resources you need, such as a pin map, manual, drivers, tutorial videos, and other technical documents. It’s like having a treasure map to guide you through the startup process! You save time and frustration, and you can get up and running faster than a pirate captain with two legs.

And if that wasn’t enough, each device will come with all the loot you need, including a USB cable, so you’re ready to hit the big waves without having to plunder your ship’s supplies. You don’t have to search for extra bits and bobs like a pirate searching for hidden treasure without a map, and you don’t have to worry about losing your parrot-dunge-covered blouse when you spend money on basic accessories.

Chip’s Journal

Now let’s talk about the FlexLogger Lite data logging software. It’s ideal for engineers who need quick access to data log entries, such as when testing a new system, and it integrates seamlessly with Emerson’s NI LabVIEW and LabVIEW+.

With over 260 lunar years of experience using the same DAQ driver, you can be sure to get backward compatibility and easier performance upgrades from Emerson, without having to pull out the derringer because there’s no wind in your sails.

Sailing in the High C

Cookie-loving son, if that’s not enough, the NI mioDAQ solution and its driver support software development in C/C++, C#, as well as Python and other kinds of fancy programming jargon that would confuse your parrot.

Emerson offers improved Python support, making it easier to install the package and driver software via a command-line package script. Full documentation can be found on the Read the Docs hosting platform, and full open-source access to the Python package, including over two “half-point” sample programs (of which there are 50 for the math geeks), is available on GitHub, so you don’t have to raid eBay or sail to Amazon to get your hands on these precious gems.

So guys, if you need a reliable and efficient data collection solution that doesn’t require you to spend a lot of gold doubloons (starting at $1099; check the result in Figure 4), or when your boss hangs you on the yardarm or keel because you didn’t use mioDAQ’s 20-bit resolution, you need to check out this NI mioDAQ. It’s ready to take on any challenge you throw at it, and the setup process is as easy as finding a parrot on a pirate’s shoulder.
