NI USB-8476 LIN Interfaces |
The National Instruments USB-8476 and USB-8476s modules provide Hi-Speed USB interfaces for connecting your PC to LIN networks and devices. The optional hardware synchronization version features a 3-pin COMBICON connector to synchronize the internal hardware time base with other NI USB CAN and LIN interfaces, as well as NI DAQ, vision, and motion devices, with 1, 10, or 20 MHz clocks. Synchronization eliminates clock drift between devices and you can trigger between devices for correlating LIN data with data from other devices. USB-8476 and USB-8476s interfaces are ideal for a wide variety of applications, including monitor and logging in-vehicle networks, bus load monitoring, device validation with synchronized data acquisition, LIN device development and test, and correlating LIN data with external measurements. The convenient all-in-one design features a captive 2 m USB cable and built-in transceiver, requiring no extra cables or accessories to get applications running quickly. With hardware time-stamping, you can log messages with microsecond-accurate time stamps for reconstructing network events and correlating data across synchronized devices. USB-8476 and USB-8476s interfacess use an industry-standard 9-pin male D-Sub (DB9) connector to interface to the LIN bus. Hi-Speed USB connectivity ensures no dropped frames, even under 100 percent bus loads. Hardware-based error checking helps identify bus-level message problems. |
