NI Ethernet data acquisition (DAQ) devices combine Ethernet communication, direct sensor connectivity, and the flexibility of NI LabVIEW software for remote monitoring and control of electrical, physical, mechanical, and acoustical signals. NI Ethernet DAQ devices can stream data on each channel at more than 50 kS/s with 24 bits of resolution. With the flexibility of LabVIEW graphical programming and the ubiquity of Ethernet network infrastructure, NI Ethernet DAQ makes it easy to incorporate remote connectivity into new or existing PC-based measurement or control systems.
National Instruments has introduced two new Wi-Fi and Ethernet DAQ carriers for NI C Series measurement and control modules. The NI WLS-9163 is a single module C Series carrier that provides both 802.11b/g and Ethernet connectivity back to a host PC, while the NI ENET-9163 is a single module carrier with only Ethernet connectivity. C Series modules offer direct sensor connections and built-in signal conditioning for a variety of measurements, including temperature, strain, acceleration, current, and voltage. You can use them interchangeably for a variety of measurement and control applications across several platforms, including NI CompactRIO, NI CompactDAQ, and a single module USB carrier. You can purchase ENET-9163 carriers and C Series modules separately or together as the following ENET-9xxx devices.
