Description
The CompactDAQ Chassis, model cDAQ-9174, with part number 781157-01, is a robust hardware platform designed for data acquisition and control applications. This chassis provides 4 slots for accommodating various C Series modules, enabling a flexible and scalable system configuration tailored to specific project needs.
Featuring a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed Bus Interface, the cDAQ-9174 ensures high-speed communication with connected devices, facilitating efficient data transfer. It supports up to 7 high-performance data streams, including counter/timer output, analog input, counter/timer input, analog output, digital output, and digital input, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of measurement tasks.
The chassis is equipped with 3 AI Timing Engines (ai, te0, te1) and offers a variety of triggers including Start Trigger, Reference Trigger, and Pause Trigger, providing users with precise control over their data acquisition processes. For operation, the chassis requires either an NI-9401 or NI-9411 digital input module, ensuring compatibility with a broad spectrum of sensors and signals.
Software compatibility is another highlight of the cDAQ-9174, supporting NI-DAQmx and a range of programming languages such as LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET. This allows for easy integration into existing systems and flexibility in application development. The chassis can be configured and managed using the Measurement & Automation Explorer tool, simplifying setup and maintenance.
Calibration of the cDAQ-9174 is available, with options for both NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party and basic in-house calibration, ensuring accurate and reliable performance. The recommended calibration period is either annually or every two years, depending on the application’s requirements, with Apex Waves listed as the calibration provider.
