Description
The NI-9205 is a versatile C Series Analog Input module featuring a range of part numbers including 785184-01, 779357-01, 780173-01, and 199015D-01L. This module is designed to cater to a wide array of applications requiring precise data acquisition.
It offers 16 differential or 32 single-ended channels, providing flexibility for various wiring configurations. With a 16-bit resolution, the NI-9205 ensures accurate data representation for your measurements.
The module supports programmable input ranges including ±200 mV, ±1 Volt, ±5 Volts, and ±10 Volts, allowing it to adapt to different signal levels. Moreover, it boasts a high sample rate of 250 kS/s per channel, enabling it to capture fast-changing signals efficiently.
Concerning safety, the NI-9205 is designed with voltage protection up to 60 Volts, and it can withstand transient overvoltages up to 1000 Vrms. The channel-to-earth ground isolation feature varies with the connector type; it is 60 VDC for D-Sub versions and 250 Vrms for Spring terminal versions, providing robust protection against ground loops and surges.
The module is available with two types of connector types: D-SUB I/O (37 pins) and Spring Terminal I/O (36-position), catering to different connectivity needs. Depending on the version, the weight of the module is either 5.3 oz for the D-SUB version or 5.7 oz for the Spring terminal version.
One of the part numbers, 780173-01, is conformal coated, offering additional protection against harsh environments. The NI-9205 is supported by the NI-DAQmx driver, which is compatible with multiple development environments, enhancing its versatility.
For those requiring precise calibrations, calibration options are available, including NIST accredited calibrations through a 3rd party, ensuring that the module meets rigorous accuracy standards.
