Data Acquisition and Data Loggers

Enicstra stocks data acquisition (DAQ) systems and data loggers used for high-resolution process recording, validation studies, environmental monitoring, and predictive maintenance data collection. The catalog spans multi-channel DAQ systems with simultaneous-sampling analog inputs, USB and Ethernet DAQ modules for PC-based applications, standalone industrial data loggers with internal storage, and the matching probes, thermocouples, and signal conditioners that complete a measurement chain.

Brands carried include National Instruments cDAQ, cRIO, and USB-DAQ, Yokogawa DX/DXAdvanced and SMARTDAC+, Eurotherm 6000 series chart recorders, Honeywell Trendview, Onset HOBO industrial, Madgetech, Datataker DT8x, Omega OMB-DAQ, and Measurement Computing. Obsolete DAQ systems and data loggers — discontinued NI cDAQ first generations, retired Yokogawa DX, end-of-life Eurotherm 6000 — are sourced through our supplier network. Each unit is bench-tested for power-up and channel function and ships with a 12-month functional warranty.

For obsolete DAQ or data logger hardware, send the OEM part number for a quote within 1–2 business days.

Choosing Data Acquisition and Data Loggers components

DAQ vs. data logger selection depends on the application: DAQ for high-speed simultaneous-sampling with PC-side software (validation, R&D, complex analysis), data logger for autonomous long-duration recording with internal storage (environmental monitoring, transport recording, plant historian gap-fill). The two technologies overlap but optimize for different problems.

Specs to confirm before ordering:

Channel count and signal type: voltage (±10 V, ±5 V, ±1 V, mV ranges), current (4–20 mA), thermocouple (specific types), RTD, bridge millivolt for strain gauges, digital pulse, IEPE for vibration
Sample rate per channel: from 1 sample per minute (data logger) to MHz (high-speed DAQ)
Simultaneous sampling (all channels at the same instant) vs. multiplexed (channels sampled in sequence) — matters for correlation across channels
Resolution: 12-bit (general), 16-bit (process), 24-bit (precision, vibration, audio)
Memory or storage: internal flash, SD card, removable USB, or PC-side
Communication: USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, cellular (for remote loggers)
Software ecosystem: LabVIEW for NI, OEM-specific viewer for chart recorders, generic CSV export, or fieldbus integration with SCADA
Power: AC supply (most stationary units), battery-backed RAM, fully battery-powered (HOBO, transport recorders)
Operating temperature and IP rating for harsh-environment installations

Common gotchas: DAQ systems require a host PC and the OEM driver/software stack — replacing the hardware without the matching software environment leaves nothing useful. NI cDAQ chassis and modules need specific NI-DAQmx driver versions; modules from one generation may need older driver releases that no longer support current Windows. Standalone data loggers store data internally and need periodic download (USB, Ethernet, or removable media); a logger with full storage stops recording until offloaded. Thermocouple measurement on DAQ requires cold-junction compensation (built into thermocouple input modules); using a generic voltage input on a thermocouple gives a baseline-offset signal.

Typical applications: process validation studies in pharmaceutical and food manufacturing, environmental monitoring during product qualification, vibration data collection on bearing health programs, multi-channel temperature surveys during commissioning, and gap-fill recording when SCADA has resolution or recording limits.

For obsolete DAQ and data logger hardware, send the OEM part number for a sourcing quote.

Related categories Frequently asked questions

Do you stock obsolete DAQ systems and data loggers?

Yes. Discontinued NI cDAQ first generations, retired Yokogawa DX-series chart recorders, end-of-life Eurotherm 6000, and earlier Onset HOBO logger codes are sourced through our supplier network.

DAQ vs. data logger — which do I need?

DAQ for PC-based high-speed acquisition, complex analysis, and short-term studies. Data logger for autonomous long-duration recording without a PC, including transport and environmental monitoring.

Will my LabVIEW VI work on a replacement DAQ?

If the module is the same series and the DAQmx driver supports it, yes. Across DAQ generations, the VI may need recompilation or driver-version adjustment. Test before deploying production.

Do data loggers come with retrieval software?

Most include free OEM software for download and viewing (HOBOware for Onset, MadgeTech viewer, etc.). Older logger software may not run on current Windows; ask if compatibility is a concern.

Can the data go to my SCADA?

For DAQ on a host PC, yes via OPC UA or fieldbus drivers. Standalone data loggers typically export CSV files post-collection; some current models offer real-time Ethernet streaming to SCADA.

What is the warranty?

12-month functional warranty on hardware. Damage from over-voltage on inputs, battery exhaustion from extended off-shelf storage, or operating outside rated environment is not covered.
