The NI ENET-9163 is a single module C Series carrier that provides standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connectivity back to a host PC. NI 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 the modules interchangeably for a variety of measurement and control applications across several platforms, including CompactRIO, NI CompactDAQ, and a single module USB carrier. You may purchase ENET-9163 carriers and C Series modules separately or together as ENET-9xxx devices. See the C Series Module Compatibility Chart under the Resources tab for a complete list of C Series modules and supported carriers.
Synchronization
You can synchronize an ENET-9xxx with other devices by using two onboard individually programmable digital trigger lines to export or import sample clocks, start triggers, pause triggers, and reference triggers.
NI-DAQmx Measurement Services Software
NI-DAQmx driver and measurement services software provides easy-to-use configuration and programming interfaces with features such as the DAQ Assistant and automatic code generation to help reduce development time. Every NI Ethernet DAQ device also includes a copy of LabVIEW SignalExpress LE software so you can quickly acquire, analyze, and present data without programming.
Application Software
In addition to LabVIEW SignalExpress, NI Ethernet DAQ devices are compatible with the following versions (or later) of NI application software: LabVIEW 7.1¹, LabWindows™/CVI 7.x, and Measurement Studio 7.x. NI Ethernet DAQ devices are also compatible with ANSI C/C++, C#, Visual Basic .NET, and Visual Basic 6.0.
¹ NI-DAQmx 8.8 (and later) provides support for LabVIEW 7.1, 8.2, 8.5, 8.6, and later.
