DAQiFi’s Nyquist 1 Is a Sturdy, Self-Contained Resolution for Wi-fi Information Acquisition

Information acquisition specialist DAQiFi is hoping to make your subsequent sensor challenge less complicated to place along with the launch of the Nyquist 1, a standalone system designed to supply simple seize of analog or digital knowledge.

“DAQiFi Nyquist 1 is a self-contained, cell linked, battery powered, wi-fi knowledge acquisition system,” its creators clarify. “It’s excellent for normal knowledge acquisition functions the place economical, feature-rich DAQs are required. Nyquist is totally wi-fi, using a built-in li-ion battery for energy and an 802.11 Wi-Fi connection, permitting it to be deployed just about wherever and in every single place.”

The Nyquist 1 board, equipped housed in a devoted casing to guard it within the area, gives a powerful 16 analog inputs to 1 facet, eight of which will be mixed into 4 differential inputs, and 16 digital inputs/outputs to the opposite — all uncovered as screw terminals, permitting knowledge sources to be linked and disconnected with out cracking open the case.

In accordance with DAQiFi’s testing, the Nyquist 1 is able to dealing with 1kHz sampling charges per channel and 10kHz combination fee, and comes pre-calibrated — a serious promoting level over rival gadgets, which both don’t have any lab-suitable calibration providing or ask for added money for the service. Home windows and Android software program is included, whereas a microSD slot supplies room for native storage. The corporate additionally guarantees full compatibility with “trade normal software program,” together with LabVIEW, Mathematica, and Node-RED.

“Except for ease-of-use and wealthy characteristic set,” DAQiFi says, “the [Nyquist 1] {hardware} is designed to be extremely strong. All its ports and electrical interfaces are protected in opposition to overvoltage, overcurrent, electrostatic discharge, and reverse polarity. The USB interface and inside lithium-ion battery are protected with routinely resetting polyfuses and are safeguarded in opposition to overvoltage, overcurrent, improper charging, and temperature extremes.”

The corporate has launched the Nyquist 1 on Crowd Provide at $199 with free worldwide delivery; these feeling beneficiant pays $349 to participate within the firm’s “give one, get one” program and supply a board to a scholar or educational lab in want. All {hardware} is anticipated to ship in direction of the top of February 2023, with 200 models already manufactured.

Whereas DAQiFi has pledged to launch supply code and design information for the Nyquist 1, on the time of writing the corporate had not made the repositories public.
