Analog Input and Output

Acquire and generate analog signals with devices from supported vendors

In a data acquisition session, you can use multiple devices and achieve various measurement types, including temperature, current, and accelerometer. For an overview of typical acquisition and generation of analog signals, see Analog Input and Output Workflow.
