Digital Input and Output Benchmarks for USB-625X and Compact DAQHardware: Multifunction DAQ (MIO)>>Portable>>USB-6251, Multifunction DAQ (MIO)>>M Series>>USB-6259
Problem: What rates can I expect to obtain when using the USB-625X or CompactDAQ for Digital Operations? Solution: The data transfer rates of the devices tested are software timed, also called unstrobed or nonlatched, and do not require status and control signals so the transfer speeds are completely software/computer dependent. These rates may vary due to programming language and code efficiency, CPU utilization, transfer methods, and so on. Below are the results of benchmark testing for the listed devices based on 10,000 updates. All tests were executed without software delays or data verification; generated values were toggled each iteration. To emphasis the difference between performance of the USB and PCI formats they are compared side-by-side. CompactDAQ uses the same digital timing and the same USB technology for transfering data as the USB-625X devices, so their performance rates can be assumed to be the same. Static Digital Input:
