Low Cost. High-Performance.

 

Academic

Hands-on learning and research with real-world signals is very important in academia today. At lower cost than you might think, National Instruments provides an intuitive platform that can connect to thousands of sensors and instruments to acquire, analyse and process signals, and present results graphically. Whether programming in C, Basic or LabVIEW on Windows, Mac or Linux, get the latest in PC-based data acquisition, instrumentation and instrument control starting at less than £65 (excluding VAT). Even lower prices available for classroom teaching applications – please contact Ian Evans. Check out your non-Windows OS options at ni.com/mac and ni.com/linux.
