LabJack produces Low Cost USB/Ethernet/WiFi based measurement and automation devices providing PCs with analog inputs/outputs, digital inputs/outputs, and more.
The hardware is impressive (I have the LabJack U3-HV). I'm developing LabVIEW programs to control the device so I've had to delve into their online documentation, which is comprehensive. I especially appreciate the abundance of downloadable LabVIEW examples. Nice job overall!
Excellent product, very useful and easy to use. Price fair for the quality and resources offered. purchasing and delivery on time as expected. Labjack team keep doing this great work !!!
Found what I needed quickly. Everything came in shipment with no issues. Adaptors worked just like I hoped and without issue. Able to test it out in minutes successfully.
Always a good experience with labjack. I've been using the U6 devices for several years. Perfect product. Simple, reliable, great online support and customer service.
great support for setting up RTD's on LJTick I contacted support to try and figure out why the RTDs we had hooked up were not giving us the correct temperature readings and I was very pleasantly surprised to get directly to a technician who was able to help me get everything setup and get them running correctly. All within about 30 minutes :).
I find that LabJack integrates well with Microsoft Visual Studio and it performs well in the developed app. Great measurement tool..!
Received order quickly. The T4 is extremely versatile and after quickly installing their software and testing the hardware using their quick start guide, I integrated their DLL into our application in less than an hour. We'll be using these moving forward.
I have found the LabJack U3 family to be able to do every thing I needed for data acquisition, and control. The price has been very good. A better software selection would be worth a higher price. 20 plus years of use. Thankyou, John
Our experience with LabJack technical support was great. They helped us quickly identify the root issue of a problem we were having. We were very pleased with their service and would highly recommend their products.
I used both LabJack T7 & U6 with each of -7 PCS of CB37, - 2 * MUX80 -2 EI1034 Temperature Probe -2 EI1050 Digital Temperature / Humidity probe - 4 DB37 cable to measuring 145 position temperature 80 probe for K Type thermocouple 65 semiconductor type LM35dz in my Ph.D. project I found it so useful except 1- the software cannot support to read more than 14 probe in easily way 2- using external probe as a reference junction for more accurate to measuring temperature by employing other probes because the heat source from the body of each U6 or T7 make a small deviation when depending to the internal reference probe and I hope to avoid this problem I am happy to use LabJack product With my respect Dr.Ali D.

The LabJack is flexible, powerful and pretty bulletproof. What I like most is that it hits a sweet spot in terms of capability, flexibility and price. I use it in a research setting for control and automation of experiments involving thermal chambers, fluid loops and heat transfer measurements. I've used it in both mechanical lab and wet-lab settings. The T7 is basically my testing swiss army knife. In all my setups, the T7 was never the failure point or bottlekneck.
Labjack U3 user. Nice product, mature, available for a long time, performs as promised. Definitely a good choice for PC-based data acquisition. 4 stars instead of 5 because the documentation could be better structured / more polished. Examples: * Datasheet: no simple overview of the no of channels / channel types, a lot of scrolling through sections 2.6.x, 2.7.x and appendix just to have an overview of the no of channels + associated specs. * Chapter 4: function calls are listed, but take e.g. 4.2.3 ePut -> accepts parameters -> takes some browsing to find out this can be used for e.g. quickSettling -> more browsing to find explanation in 2.6 for quickSettling In the end all information _is_ available. But some short tutorial, or more documented example code right near the description might help.
I got a labjack u3-hv system because it's probably the best bang-for-your-buck out there when it comes to ready-made DAQ systems. The documentation was good enough that I was able to interface it with matlab and figure everything out in a couple of days. I would definitely recommend LabJack systems to anyone (and definitely hope I get the chance to use the higher-end systems someday).
My T7 lab jack is pretty much my go to device for all things experimental. It’s easy to reconfigure and get useful data coming in and controls going out. For more production work, we even have a few smaller jacks under our lab floors. Most people have forgotten they even exist, yet they don’t realize they depend on them every day. I do wish the T7’s wireless security was more up to date for proper full 64 character WPA2 PSK pass phrases or (preferably) WPA Enterprise authentication. That’s my only real gripe.
Excellent choice of reasonably priced data acquisition and control boards. It was an optimal solution for a project with limited funding and put together by university grad students. Very good support and access to resources as well. Thank you for putting out these DAQs. It is an excellent resource compared to very expensive DAQ solutions by large companies.
We have been using U3-LV & U3-HV in our low volume production, flash equipment for over a year and they have never failed. The only gripe I have is the turn on (wake up) time had caused us some annoying race issues with the software that we wrote to communicate with them when they were powered up when we were developing the software.
LabJack has been a great company to work with. Getting spun up on my automation needs was quick and simple. Thanks for the years of service. -Sacramento, CA
I used the LabJack U6 to measure mainly currents and voltages on historical locomotives for comissioning and troubleshooting. I used LJStreamUD, this SW is easy to understand and works perfectly.
I'm the happy owner of 1 Labjack 12 (bought in 2008), several UE9 and U6 and one T7. The U6 and T7 are very accurate in voltage measurments (as a 10000 points voltmeter), and, as far as I could test, very stables. I used them in : - improvised temperatures measurments with platinium RTD in factory conditions, - real time displacements (LVDT) and pressure measurments in factory conditions. - thermocouples, speed measurments, frequency and pulse generations in bench conditions. Those device are very versatiles, and well documented. Most of the time I found answers on the Labjack site. On some other few time, I could check the live support, wich is very "reactive" (firmware upgrade to correct bug in a few days). In association with Daqfactory, it is possible to build an application very fast, with data logging, graphics, and sophisticated computations. I also used the drivers for UE9, U6 and T7 to build measurments applications with Embarcadero Delphi IDE. Compared to other industrials devices with equivalent capabilities, the price of Labjacks is very attractive.

Mar 23,2022I used a small fleet of T4s to capture temperature data over a 130+ m^3 volume. LabJacks Kipling software makes configuration and debugging a breeze. Their documentation is extremely comprehensive covering device hardware as well as any software needed to control/communicate with the device. Finally, if you do find your self needing some additional help LabJack support is quick to respond, patient in their guidance, and all around easy to work with.
