Description
24-Bit Precision, Wireless Freedom
The Nyquist 2 combines 16 channels of 24-bit analog input with 8 channels of 12-bit analog output in a portable, battery-powered form factor. Measure sub-microvolt signals, generate output voltages, and stream it all over WiFi or USB.

- 24bit ADC resolution (AD7173) — 16.7 million measurement levels per channel
- Programmable input range per channel
- Up to 1kHz sampling rate per channel
- Per-channel enable/disable and calibration (factory + user included)
- TVS diode protection on all inputs
Analog Output
- 8ch, 0–10V output range
- 12bit resolution (DAC7718)
- Drive actuators, set reference voltages, or generate test signals
- Enables closed-loop control — both measurement and active control in one device

daqifi-nodeWhy the Nyquist 2
Enterprise-grade SCPI
The industry-standard command language used across professional lab instrumentation. Open protocol over USB or WiFi — your SCPI scripts work anywhere, on any stack. No proprietary drivers, no per-instrument dialect to learn.
daqifi-nyquist-firmwareBuilt to survive
Ruggedized electronically against over-voltage, ESD, short-circuits, and the everyday abuse of lab and field work. TVS-diode protection on every analog and digital I/O. PTC resettable fuses. Isolated, ESD-clamped power outputs.
Proven in extremes
Beta-tested on a zero-gravity flight for ISS fire-extinguisher research. If it works at 0 g, it'll hopefully survive your lab bench!
What You Can Measure
The Nyquist 2 reads voltage from its analog inputs. Connect any sensor or transducer that outputs a voltage signal — the 24-bit resolution captures low-level signals that 12-bit and 16-bit devices miss. With 8 analog outputs, it also generates control and stimulus voltages for closed-loop systems. The sensor determines what you measure; the Nyquist handles acquisition, streaming, and logging.
