What standards are used in their design? A: M Series DAQ products are NI\'s new generation of multifunction data acquisition devices. All products have a minimum of 16 analog inputs, 24 digital I/O lines, and two counter/timers. Some devices have up to 4 analog outputs, 32 analog inputs, and 48 digital lines. In designing the new M Series DAQ devices, NI has further improved the functionality of industry-standard DAQ hardware and introduced new features and technologies that have never been available in plug-in DAQ cards before. At the heart of all the new technology in the M Series DAQ cards is the new system timing controller. The NI-STC 2 chip provides unprecedented performance for plug-in DAQ hardware. In addition, innovative calibration schemes and a new generation of programmable instrument gain amplifiers can improve measurement accuracy over the entire range while ensuring higher sampling rates. M Series devices also reduce the cost of multi-function DAQ devices. The increase in the number of channels can reduce the cost of each analog and digital signal channel. Q: What are the characteristics of the M Series products? A: The M Series has three types - low price, high speed and high accuracy
