NIWeek: Big data challenge gets Intel quad-core processing

NI is addressing the big data management challenge with its latest 4- and 8-slot CompactDAQ controllers announced at NIWeek in Austin, Texas this week.

NI has significantly increased the processing capability in the data acquisition hardware with quad-core processors. There is also a new 14-slot USB 3.0 CompactDAQ Chassis,

It is all about more effectively processing data at the point of acquisition. Software-based measuremtn systems need to be smarter, says NI.

The 4- and 8-slot CompactDAQ controllers feature Intel Atom quad-core 1.91 GHz E3845 processors. There are more than 60 sensor-specific I/O modules with integrated signal conditioning, and two USB and Gigabit Ethernet ports.

The controllers can run either Windows Embedded 7 or NI Linux Real-Time, and include 32 GB of nonvolatile storage and removable SD storage to create smarter data logging and embedded monitoring applications.

The USB 3.0 CompactDAQ Chassis provides both increased data bandwidth with a 250Mbyte/s data transfer rate for data acquisition and 14-slot expansion capacity.

For managing this increased level of data acquisition, NI is releasing its DIAdem 2015 data analysis tool as 64-bit software. This is supported by DataFinder Server Edition 2015 which can find and manage data in the cloud.
