Description
The NI-9236 is a powerful and versatile data acquisition device with a range of specifications tailored for precision measurement. This device is available in three part numbers: 779994-01, 779994-02, and 785996-01, ensuring flexibility in inventory and replacements. It features 8 differential analog input channels, allowing for the capture of data from multiple sources simultaneously.
The NI-9236 boasts an impressive 24-bit ADC resolution, ensuring high-precision readings. The device offers a minimum sampling rate of 794 Samples per second (S/s) and can go up to a maximum sampling rate of 10 kiloSamples per second (kS/s) per channel, providing versatility in data capture speed to suit various application needs.
Designed with robustness in mind, it features overvoltage protection of ±30 V between any two terminals, safeguarding the device from unexpected power surges. Its input range of ±29.4 mV/V accommodates a wide variety of sensors, while 60 VDC isolation enhances safety and noise immunity.
The NI-9236 is engineered to operate reliably across extreme temperatures, with an operating temperature range of -40 °C to 70 °C. It also offers 50 g shock and 5 g vibration resistance, ensuring performance stability in harsh environments. Compatibility with the NI-9965 backshell kit is recommended for enhanced connectivity and ease of use.
Furthermore, the device’s excitation voltage is specified at 3.3 V ± 1%, with a maximum output current of 46 mA. It manages power efficiently, consuming 675 mW in active mode. The power consumption details for sleep mode are designed to ensure minimal energy usage when the device is not actively collecting data.
