Description
The NI-9203 is a model within the C Series Analog Input category, designed to cater to a variety of analog input needs. It comes with part numbers 779516-01, which features a Screw Terminal, 783731-01 with a Spring Terminal, and 779516-02 which is a Conformal Coated Screw Terminal, providing flexibility in connectivity options.
This model is equipped with 8 single-ended analog input channels, allowing for comprehensive data collection and monitoring. It boasts a high sample rate of 200 kS/s, ensuring that data is captured swiftly and accurately. With a resolution of 16 bits, the NI-9203 delivers precise measurements, making it suitable for applications requiring detailed data analysis.
The input range of the device is from -20 mA to 20 mA, accommodating a wide spectrum of signal strengths. It features a robust isolation of 250 Vrms, providing channel-to-ground dual isolation that enhances safety and signal integrity. Additionally, the overvoltage protection of ±30 V for each channel ensures the device’s durability and reliability in challenging environments.
When it comes to power consumption, the NI-9203 is efficient, consuming 399 mW in active mode and only 5 mW in sleep mode. This makes it an energy-saving choice for continuous operation. The minimum conversion time is 5.2 μs when used with an R Series Expansion Chassis, allowing for rapid data processing.
The operating temperature range of –40 to 70 °C ensures that the NI-9203 can perform reliably in a variety of environmental conditions. It is compatible with driver software NI-DAQmx 9.2, and it supports several application development environments (ADEs) including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, C/C++, C#, and Visual Basic .NET. This compatibility ensures that users can easily integrate the module into their existing systems and workflows.
Regarding accuracy, the error for gain and offset at 25 °C (±5 °C) is ±0.04% and ±0.02% respectively, indicating high precision in measurements. This level of accuracy is essential for applications where even minor deviations can lead to significant impacts on outcomes or analyses.
