Description
The National Instruments USB-6002 steps up the capabilities of the USB-6001, making it a more powerful option for general-purpose data acquisition tasks. Here’s how it builds upon its predecessor:
- Improved Resolution and Speed: The USB-6002 boasts 16-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) compared to the 14-bit resolution of the USB-6001. This translates to better signal detail in your captured data. Additionally, it offers a significant increase in the maximum sampling rate for analog inputs, reaching 50 kS/s (kiloSamples per second). This allows you to capture faster-changing analog signals compared to the USB-6001’s 20 kS/s limit.
- Maintains Analog Output and Digital I/O: Just like the USB-6001, it provides 2 analog output channels for generating control signals and 13 digital I/O lines for interfacing with logic-level devices.
- User-Friendly Design: Similar to the USB-6001, it connects via USB for easy setup and power, and includes NI-DAQmx driver software for configuration, data acquisition, and basic analysis, making it accessible for various users.
In a nutshell, the National Instruments USB-6002 offers a compelling balance between performance, affordability, and ease of use. It’s a versatile tool for data logging, portable measurements, educational purposes, and various applications requiring higher resolution and faster data acquisition compared to the USB-6001.
Analog Input (AI):
- Number of Channels: 8
- Resolution: 16 bits (improved from 14-bit on USB-6001)
- Maximum Sampling Rate: 50 kS/s (kiloSamples per second) (increased from 20 kS/s on USB-6001)
Analog Output (AO):
- Number of Channels: 2

Key Improvements over USB-6001:
- Higher resolution (16-bit) for capturing analog signals with greater detail.
- Faster maximum sampling rate (50 kS/s) for acquiring faster-changing analog signals.
- Maintains compatibility with NI-DAQmx driver software for ease of use.
In summary, the USB-6002 provides:
- Increased performance for data acquisition applications compared to the USB-6001.
- User-friendly design with USB connectivity and NI-DAQmx software compatibility.
- A balance between affordability and capabilities, making it suitable for various data acquisition tasks.
