Newark Enhances Sensor Measurement with Free Data Logging Software and CompactDAQ Hardware

Chicago – September 12, 2024: Newark, a fast and reliable distributor of products and technology for electronic and industrial system design, maintenance, and repair, has announced the launch of its latest data acquisition solution.

This new offering combines NI CompactDAQ hardware with the newly available FlexLogger Lite software at no additional cost. Designed to enhance and accelerate sensor measurement processes, this solution is set to offer engineers a more efficient way to capture sensor data.

The NI CompactDAQ system, renowned for its robust chassis and modular design, is now paired with FlexLogger Lite, a software solution that eliminates the need for programming. This integration allows for faster and more straightforward data collection for voltage and sensor measurements. The streamlined setup and execution are expected to improve overall efficiency in data acquisition tasks, benefiting engineers who require quick and reliable data analysis.

Key Features Include:

  1. Speedy Data Access: Quickly get data to your design team, keeping projects on track. With the software it is possible to configure channels, drag-and-drop graphs, and log to Excel in minutes.
  2. Flexible Customization: Easily adjust the system with a drag-and-drop interface, open file formats, and over 70 compatible measurement modules.
  3. Scalable Solutions: Start with free logging software and seamlessly scale up to full, automated test executives as your needs evolve.
  4. Ideal for Engineers and Technicians: Perfect for those measuring voltage, current, or sensor data with a computer.

“We’re excited to roll out this new solution that truly puts our customers at the center of what we do,’’  said Christelle Mazella, Senior Manager Test & Measurement at Newark. “By combining NI CompactDAQ hardware with the intuitive FlexLogger Lite software, we’re making it easier for engineers to capture and analyze data efficiently. This solution is designed to meet our customers’ needs for simplicity and speed, helping them achieve their goals with greater ease.”

This free software is part of NI’s comprehensive software catalog, which includes the LabVIEW+ Suite. It is available for download from https://www.ni.com/en/shop/data-acquisition-and-control/flexlogger.html. Customers who purchase a CompactDAQ system from Newark, Farnell, or element14 can access this software at no additional cost. There is no need for a separate order or proof of purchase for the FlexLogger Lite package. The software is compatible with both individual modules and bundled systems. Engineers can start with FlexLogger Lite today and easily scale up to the full LV+ suite as their needs grow. Newark also offers comprehensive support and technical resources to optimize your data acquisition capabilities.

The NI CompactDAQ hardware with free FlexLogger Lite software is now available for immediate delivery from Newark in North America, Farnell in EMEA, and element14 in APAC.
