NATIONAL Instruments has announced a one-slot NI CompactDAQ chassis that supports wireless, USB and Ethernet buses.
According to the company, engineers and scientists now can build instruments with the portability of a data logger combined with the performance and flexibility of modular measurements.
More than 50 measurement-specific modules featuring multiple electrical and sensor connectivity options can be combined with any chassis to create customized systems specific to the needs of numerous applications.
The NI cDAQ-9191, cDAQ-9181 and cDAQ-9171 chassis support all NI C Series modules for the NI CompactDAQ platform and can be used in conjunction with the existing 4- and 8-slot chassis.
With modules designed for almost any sensor, the NI CompactDAQ platform eliminates the fixed functionality of traditional sensor measurement systems and gives engineers and scientists the ability to increase productivity while decreasing overall cost.
The chassis have new metal enclosures that make them more resistant to environmental damage as compared to the previous plastic sleeves.
The chassis operate in a temperature range of 0 to 55 degrees Celsius and can withstand up to 30 g shock and 3 g vibration.
