Description
The CompactDAQ Chassis, model cDAQ-9178, is identified by its part number 196654B-01L, though it is also listed as 781156-01 in its description. This particular model features an 8 slot USB CompactDAQ chassis, designed to accommodate a variety of data acquisition modules.
Each of the eight slots supports an input FIFO size of 127 samples, which allows for efficient data buffering. The chassis is equipped with four 32-bit counters/timers, enhancing its capability for precise measurement tasks. The maximum sample rate achievable by the system is determined by the specific C series module installed in the chassis.
Software compatibility is a key feature of the cDAQ-9178, with support for NI-DAQmx and programming environments including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET. Configuration and system integration are facilitated through the Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) tool, simplifying setup and customization.
The chassis also boasts three AI timing motors, enabling it to perform three analog input tasks simultaneously. This capability ensures versatility in data acquisition applications. Regular calibration is recommended for the cDAQ-9178, ideally on an annual or biennial basis, to maintain accuracy and performance over time.
