National Instruments cDAQ-9171 CompactDAQ Chassis

The cDAQ-9171 (Part Number: 781425-01) is a bus-fueled CompactDAQ Chassis, intended for small and convenient sensor estimation frameworks. The instrument gives the straightforwardness of quick association (plug-and-play) of USB to its electrical and sensor estimations. This CompactDAQ also controls the planning, synchronization, and information exchange between the C Series I/O modules and an outside server. The user can utilize this suspension with a blend of C Series I/O modules to perform different estimations of simple I/O, computerized I/O, and counter/clock. The cDAQ-9171 National Instruments has four 32-bit universally useful clocks/counters that can be reached through an equipment planned, C Series computerized module in applications that utilize quadrature encoders, pulse width estimations, event counting, pulse train generation, and period or frequency estimations. The cDAQ framework is comprised of three parts: C Series module(s), the STC3, and the cDAQ module interface. These parts digitize signals, perform D/A transformations to create analog output signals, measure and control computerized I/O signals, and offer signal conditioning. The device has a USB 2.0 hi-speed bus connector, and has a timing resolution of 12.5 ns.

The NI cDAQ-9171 1-slot USB Chassis supports over 60 sensor-specific I/O modules with integrated signal conditioning. This USB Chassis allows the user to run as many as six hardware-timed analog I/O, digital I/O, or counter/timer operations at the same time. The number of channels the NI cDAQ-9171 can support, the sample rate, and several other specifications are based on the C Series module used with the Chassis. The NI cDAQ 9171 USB Chassis has the capability to be mounted to a panel, wall, or a DIN rail. The optional rack mounting kits can be purchased separately. When mounted, the cDAQ Chassis should not be stacked. This model is run using the NI-DAQmx driver software which is compatible with software packages like LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, or Measurement Studio.

The NI device weighs 12.5 oz, and measures 5.17 x 3.49 x 1.31 in. in physical dimensions. It has a power consumption of 500 mA maximum at 5 V, a recommended operating temperature range of -20 °C to 55 °C, and a storage temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C. Additional specifications for the cDAQ-9171 can be found in the manuals and datasheets under the "Manuals & PDFs" tab.

The cDAQ-9171 is available to be calibrated. While the recommended calibration period for individual parts varies, most parts should be calibrated either annually or every two years to ensure accuracy. If you need the cDAQ-9171 calibrated, Apex Waves provides options. We offer high-quality NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, with an average turnaround time of 1 to 2 weeks. When you order the cDAQ-9171 with us, you can request basic (unaccredited) in-house calibration that will calibrate the part to the manufacturer specifications prior to being shipped.
