The National Instruments 9264 is a C Series module for NI CompactDAQ and CompactRIO that accommodates higher-channel-count systems in either chassis type. Higher density modules will conserve chassis space leaving room for other measurement types. Each channel can update at up to 25 kS/s because each channel has its own digital to analog converter.

Note that the National Instruments legacy NI CompactDAQ chassis, the cDAQ-9172, has a limit of 16 programmable output channels, which means you can use only one hardware timed NI 9264 per chassis. CompactRIO does not have this restriction due to the parallel nature of the FPGA and the reconfigurable I/O driver.

The spring terminal version of the NI 9264 uses a 36-position connector for the 16 channels of output with each channel having a ground connection. You can purchase extra connectors, which are listed as model NI 9974.

Backshell Kit
For signal wire strain relief, high vibration environments, or protection from high voltages, use the NI 9940 backshell kit. Note that this kit is not compatible with the D-SUB version of the module.

D-SUB Accessories
The D-SUB version of the NI 9264 module was designed to accommodate standard 37 pin D-SUB components. NI offers a variety of cables and terminal blocks for this connector option. To eliminate the need for a break out panel and conserve space, use the NI 9933, 37 pin D-SUB connector block. This accessory kit comes with a D-SUB to screw terminal converter as well as a protective shell to create a custom cable for your specific application.
