Enclosures, Cabling & Connectors
National Instruments has introduced the NI cDAQ-9174 four-slot and cDAQ-9178 eight-slot NI CompactDAQ chassis, which are advanced versions of the popular 8-slot NI CompactDAQ chassis released in 2006. The two new chassis build on the functionality of the original chassis by adding:
* A four-slot option for smaller applications.
* The ability to take mixed-sensor measurements at different rates.
* Two built-in, external BNC triggers to synchronise systems easier.
* Four advanced counters, providing more available counters for additional measurements.
These, along with NI-DAQmx driver and measurement services software for the NI LabVIEW graphical programming and development environment, make the NI CompactDAQ system easier to program and more suitable for mixed-signal data acquisition systems.
NI offers more than 50 C Series modules to use interchangeably in NI CompactDAQ systems for measurements such as temperature, strain, voltage, current, sound and vibration. Every NI CompactDAQ chassis is shipped with NI LabVIEW SignalExpress LE data-logging software. With USB plug-and-play data acquisition and LabVIEW SignalExpress, engineers can connect NI CompactDAQ to a PC or laptop and start measuring data within three clicks of a mouse.
