What Measurement Computing Corp. does

Measurement Computing Corp. (MCC), founded in 1989 and headquartered in Norton, Massachusetts, is a designer and manufacturer of data acquisition (DAQ) hardware and accompanying software targeting engineers, researchers, and OEM manufacturers. Its core product portfolio includes USB DAQ boards and modules (analog input/output, digital I/O, counter/timers) spanning multifunction, temperature, sound/vibration, and digital I/O applications; Ethernet and remote data loggers for real-time networked monitoring; Raspberry Pi HAT-standard DAQ devices for embedded/edge applications; OEM board-only variants for integration into third-party systems; legacy PCI/DAQ devices; and a software stack (including DAQami for data viewing and logging) with drivers for Windows and Linux, plus an accessory catalog (thermocouples, cables, mounting hardware, power supplies). The company serves three primary segments: professional engineers and researchers (horizontal persona), industrial and facility management organizations (environmental/industrial monitoring), and OEM manufacturers integrating DAQ capabilities into their own equipment.

MCC's business model is hardware-driven, with revenue from one-time hardware sales of DAQ devices, OEM board-only products, and accessories, supplemented by one-time software licenses. Pricing is not publicly disclosed but operates through a hybrid model: e-commerce-driven self-service for SMBs and individual buyers via Digilent's storefront, and quote-based enterprise/OEM orders. Distribution occurs through three channels — Digilent's direct e-commerce storefront, a global distributor network for enterprise reach, and OEM/embedded channels. Marketing is conducted digitally through social media, an email newsletter, content/reference materials, and the Digilent storefront.

In 2015, MCC acquired Data Translation (DT) and subsequently integrated both MCC and DT DAQ product lines into Digilent's family of test and measurement solutions. Digilent itself is a subsidiary of National Instruments, meaning MCC now operates as a brand/product line within a larger strategic parent, with operational headquarters co-located at NI's Austin, TX address (PBU Operations). MCC has 11-50 employees and is privately held. No public revenue, funding history, or AI/ML capabilities are disclosed in the available data.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• HBK (Hottinger Brüel & Kjær): HBK provides sound, vibration, and electrical measurement DAQ hardware and software for industrial and research customers. It is a broad incumbent because its QuantumX and LAN-XI families overlap with MCC's sound/vibration and multichannel DAQ offerings while operating at greater scale and broader systems integration.
• Advantech: Advantech is a broad industrial computing and IoT incumbent that includes DAQ modules and remote I/O in its portfolio. It is a broad incumbent because it overlaps with MCC at the industrial data acquisition and OEM embedded layer while also selling much larger PC-based and edge-gateway systems.
• Omega Engineering: Omega Engineering manufactures and distributes measurement and process-control devices including data loggers, thermocouples, and DAQ accessories. It is a broad incumbent because it overlaps with MCC across sensors, accessories, and standalone data logger lines for industrial buyers while operating at a much larger SKU breadth.
• Keysight Technologies: Keysight is a major test & measurement incumbent spanning oscilloscopes, signal analyzers, and modular DAQ. It is a broad incumbent because it competes with MCC across the bench-instrument and modular DAQ customer base while also serving much higher-end RF/wireless test markets MCC does not address.

Direct peers

• Pico Technology: Pico Technology manufactures USB-based PC oscilloscopes and data loggers with bundled software for engineering applications. It is a direct peer to MCC because both deliver affordable USB-attached measurement devices with software-first user experiences for engineers and technicians.
• Dewetron: Dewetron produces modular data acquisition systems and data loggers for test, measurement, and industrial monitoring. It is a direct peer because Dewetron competes in the same multi-channel, high-accuracy DAQ segment with similar form factors (USB, Ethernet) and customer overlap.
• Campbell Scientific: Campbell Scientific builds rugged data loggers and DAQ systems for environmental and industrial monitoring applications. It is a direct peer to MCC's Ethernet/remote data logger line because both target long-duration unattended monitoring with similar form factors and customer segments.
• IOtech (a CAS DataLoggers brand): IOtech, now part of CAS DataLoggers, manufactures PC-based data acquisition hardware and software for industrial and laboratory use. It is a direct peer because IOtech USB and Ethernet DAQ boards compete head-to-head with MCC's multifunction and temperature/analog product families.
• National Instruments: National Instruments is the parent of Digilent/MCC and itself a major manufacturer of DAQ hardware (PXI, NI-DAQ, CompactDAQ) for engineers and researchers. It is the most directly comparable competitor because MCC's products overlap with NI's own DAQ portfolio and serve the same engineering customer base.
• ADInstruments: ADInstruments designs and manufactures data acquisition systems (PowerLab, LabChart) targeted at life-science and research engineers. It is a direct peer because it competes in the same easy-to-use DAQ category with bundled software and serves a comparable research/engineering audience.
