What data would you acquire with this?

We're appraising the USB-6421 for a RoadTest and would appreciate some member input.
image

It's USB Type-C powered and has analogue and digital IO and 4 counters, analogue input channels with four input range settings between ± 200 mV to ± 10 V. The analogue output channels have an update rate of 250 kS/s/ch at up to ± 10 V.

It's compatible with some free data acquisition software from NI, but also has some professional software to use with it that's also available.

The full product specifications are available below:
