For Engineers by Engineers: A User-Centric Approach to DAQ
Over the last few years, consumer electronics have become increasingly user-friendly. Smartphones, despite having tons of functionality, are so intuitive that they don’t require an owner’s manual. And more complex tasks, like setting up a smart thermostat at home, are made easy by scanning a QR code.??
As the consumer electronics industry simplifies its products and sets new standards for expectations, is the industrial sector keeping pace?
An NI survey of the DAQ market (customers and non-customers) asked, “What challenges do you have when you use your DAQ equipment?” The top concerns weren’t about technical specs or measurements. They were mainly about user experience:
NI’s research and development team asked themselves, “Why can’t engineers enjoy the same seamless technology in the lab that they have at home?”
NI’s mioDAQ was designed not just for the electronics board under test; but also, for the engineers themselves. Let’s take a closer look at how NI developed a modern USB DAQ solution with engineers in mind.
Leveraging the Latest Technology
NI’s mioDAQ improves the engineer’s user experience by leveraging various advancements in the tech and electronics industry.

By taking advantage of these evolutions, NI is pushing the boundaries with its next- generation USB DAQ—not only in terms of performance but also in terms of convenience.
NI mioDAQ provides engineers with high-performance data acquisition in a small, portable device that takes up little space on a desk. The straightforward setup enables lab professionals to work efficiently right away, and a QR code printed directly on the hardware provides instant access to detailed product documentation, how-to videos, and required software.
Open and Flexible Software
As consumers, little thought is given to hardware and software versions and interoperability. Products are generally expected to work seamlessly out of the box without the need to understand the underlying compatibility or technical specifics.
However, as engineers in the lab, NI’s survey revealed that hardware and software interoperability is often a source of frustration. Engineers also find it difficult to keep pace with changing hardware and software technologies.
NI confronts this challenge with a user-centric approach. mioDAQ supports multiple software workflows for integrations with a range of tools, including data loggers, LabVIEW development, and master programming support for Python and C/C++. The open and flexible software standard empowers lab professionals to use their preferred tools to optimize productivity and face product complexity with ease.
Making Engineers’ Jobs Easier with Modern DAQ Solutions
NI’s latest USB DAQ device, mioDAQ, was designed by engineers for engineers. It combines ease of use, portability, and flexible software integrations with the performance of sophisticated lab equipment.
mioDAQ makes it easier for engineers to test and measure their work and empowers teams to boost quality and accelerate time-to-market. Easier access to data equals easier access to failure analysis.
