Description
The National Instruments C Series offers a versatile module known as the NI-9208. This module is available with a range of part numbers to cater to different needs, including the 785041-01 which comes with Spring Terminal and boasts 250 Vrms Isolation but is not coated, the 780968-01 which is equipped with D-Sub Connectors providing 60 VDC Isolation without coating, and finally, the 780968-02 variant that is also equipped with D-Sub Connectors and 60 VDC Isolation but comes coated for extra protection.
Designed for compatibility with CompactDAQ/CompactRIO systems, the NI-9208 is known for its high channel density, allowing for extensive data acquisition in a compact form factor. Boasting a resolution of 24-bits and utilizing a Delta-Sigma ADC type, this module ensures precise data conversion with minimal error. The scanned sampling mode further enhances the accuracy and reliability of data capture.
With an input impedance of 85 Ω and capable of a maximum sample rate of 500 Samples per second, the NI-9208 is designed for high-performance in a variety of applications. Users can select between high-resolution and high-speed operating modes depending on the specific requirements of their project. Despite its high functionality, the module maintains efficient power consumption with only 282 mW required in active mode.
Flexibility in connection is provided through the choice of either Spring Terminal or 37-pin D-SUB connector types, catering to different setup preferences and ensuring easy integration into existing systems. In terms of physical specifications, the weight varies slightly between models with the Spring Terminal variant weighing in at 5.7 oz, while the D-SUB version is slightly lighter at 5.1 oz.
