This device has numerous part numbers because there are versions with screw terminal, mass termination, and BNC connectors. These versions also have power options for different countries.

The DAQPad-6015 is a plug-and-play device that supports USB connectivity. The NI DAQPad-6015 is used for data acquisition, as well as data generation and data logging in various applications. This Multifunction I/O Device can be connected to several accessories and signal conditioning devices. The National Instruments DAQPad-6015 is configured with NI-DAQmx software. This device supports several types of application software, including LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, and LabWindows/CVI. An important feature of the DAQPad 6015 is the single programming interface for all device functions.

The NI DAQPad-6015 consists of 16 analog inputs with 16-bit resolution and multiple signal connectivity options. In addition, the device has 8 digital I/O lines (5 V TTL/CMOS). This Multifunction I/O Device is fully compatible with Windows operating systems (2000/XP). The FIFO buffer capacity for this device is 4,096 samples. The DAQPad 6015 also has two analog outputs. The resolution of these output channels is 16 bits. The DAQPad-6015 supports an output rate up to 300 S/s. Two counters/timers are also available.  

This Multifunction I/O Device is specially designed for portable applications where accuracy is a main requirement. The NI DAQPad-6015 is ideal for a broad range of applications, such as portable data logging, in-vehicle data acquisition, field-monitoring applications, embedded OEM applications, and academic lab use.

The mass termination model of the DAQPad-6015 weighs 3.125 lb while it’s BNC fitted counterpart weighs slightly more at 3.825 lb. Excluding connectors, the device measures 8 x 6.75 x 1.4 in. in physical dimensions. The mass termination and BNC models measure 12.1 x 10 x 1.7 in. It has a recommended operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C, a storage temperature range of –55 to 150 °C, and a non-condensing relative humidity range of 5 to 90% RH. The device is designed to comply with the following electrical safety standards: IEC 60950-1, EN 60950-1, UL 60950-1, and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 60950-1.

The DAQPad-6015 is available to be calibrated. While the recommended calibration period for individual parts varies, most parts should be calibrated either annually or every two years to ensure accuracy. If you need the DAQPad-6015 calibrated, Apex Waves provides options. We offer high-quality NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, with an average turnaround time of 1 to 2 weeks. When you order the DAQPad-6015 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
