NI-USB 6008 vs 6001

[rize29]

Hi there,

I currently use a NI-USB 6008 for data acquisition (voltage readings via analog input) and to send relayed signals via analog output. It appears to me that NI no longer stocks / produces the 6008. As far as I can tell, though, the 6001 model is very similar - can someone please confirm this for me?

Ta!

They are similar.  The 6001 is a little faster and has 14 bits compared to 12.  I assume you're using DAQmx, so your code should work the same between the two.  If you absolutely need the 6008, it might be possible to get it still; just ask your sales rep.

Thanks very much pulidotech! Yes, we use DAQmx. The 6001 sounds like it should work just fine.
