DAQiFi was born, as with most inventions, out of necessity. Data acquisition is commonplace in most engineering, scientific, and academic environments. However, most of these systems have limited capability or high cost. They generally require separate software purchases and dedicated computers to collect data. Moreover, many data acquisition systems still require the user to learn proprietary programming languages.
After extensive experience in engineering/scientific environments at universities and engineering companies, the founders of DAQiFi observed most users were spending excessive time configuring and programming their data acquisition devices. This detracted from their main goal: collect and analyze data essential to the task at hand. The founders of DAQiFi envisioned a better solution: modular, portable data acquisition with flexible wireless connectivity. The features in the new Nyquist line of data acquisition devices were intended to provide anyone with the ability to easily collect the data they need without wasting time learning the intricacies of data collection setup and software. This quest is DAQiFi’s main objective and we continue to design products which meld high capability and ease of use with competitive pricing.
