PC Based Data Acquisition Systems

Many engineers have found that it is a false economy to buy stand-alone, dedicated instruments.  With today's technology, PC based data acquisition systems are powerful and flexible.  They can be tailored to present requirements, and later adapted for future projects.  In this way, PC based data acquisition systems can still be in use when dedicated instruments have long been gathering dust!

Our PC based data acquisition systems consist of custom LabVIEW software, which we develop, working together with data acquisition hardware from National Instruments.

National Instruments supply thousands of different data acquisition products.  We can help you find the right ones for your purposes, and then you can purchase them either from us or from National Instruments.

National Instruments manufacture the following types of data acquisition devices:

Basic analogue IO, digital IO and counter-timers PXI and CompactPCI
Modular instruments GPIB, serial and instrument control
Real-time measurement and control Sound & vibration measurement hardware
Signal conditioning devices VXI and VME
Switches Industrial communications hardware
Industrial control and distributed IO Temperature measurement devices
Machine vision hardware Reconfigurable IO control & acquisition
Motion controllers and motor drives


National Instruments' market-leading data acquisition hardware together with our strong LabVIEW programming and systems integration skills make LiveWires your first choice for PC based data acquisition systems.
