Durango NIDAQ/IMAQ Hardware Kit

This is our basic Durango hardware kit and is usually available for immediate shipment.

The 4-channel IMAQ 1409 board will acquire monochrome images from any standard or non-standard video camera. Digitization is software selectable at 8 or 10-bit.

The NIDAQ 6024E board will drive most low voltage (10V) phase shifters. If necessary, a 10X or 100X voltage amplifer may be added. On request, we will include a plug adapter from LEMO-to-BNC or LEMO-to-TNC (for MiniFIZ).
