The -OEM variant does not include the screw terminals or enclosure.
Designed for direct integration into a larger product or platform.
USB Multifunction DAQ
The U3 family devices are versatile for measurement and control
within simple analog and digital systems. With the option to configure
I/O as either analog or digital, you have flexibility when choosing
sensors for your application. Common applications include hobbyist
projects, educational programs, industrial control and monitoring, and
prototype development.
Hardware Overview
LV (Low-Voltage) Version:
- 16 Flexible I/O (Digital Input, Digital Output, or Analog Input)
- Up to 2 Timers (Pulse Timing, PWM Output, Quadrature Input, ...)
- Up to 2 Counters (32-Bits Each)
- 4 Additional Digital I/O
- Up to 16 12-bit Analog Inputs (0-2.4 V or 0-3.6 V, SE or Diff.)
- 2 Analog Outputs (10-Bit, 0-5 volts)

- Enclosure Size Approximately 3" x 4.5" x 1.2" (75mm x 115mm x 30mm)
- Rated for Industrial Temperature Range (-40 to +85 Degrees C)
HV (High-Voltage) Version:
Same features as the LV version except:
- First 4 Flexible I/O are Changed to Dedicated HV Analog Inputs.
- 4 HV Inputs have ±10 Volt or -10/+20 Volt Range.
- 12 LV Inputs (Flexible I/O) Still Available, for 16 Total Analog Inputs.
For more technical specifications look at the U3's datasheet.
The U3-HV has the following differences versus the U3-LV:
| U3-LV | U3-HV |
# Low-voltage AINs: | 16 | 12 |
# High-voltage AINs: | 0 | 4 |
# DIOs: | 20 | 16 |
U3-HV vs U3-LV
- First 4 flexible I/O are changed to dedicated HV analog inputs.
- 4 HV inputs have ±10 volt or -10/+20 volt range.
- 12 LV inputs (flexible I/O) still available, for 16 total analog inputs.
